With much lived experience accrued (including over twenty years experience in parenting and navigating autism services) and having an academic background in both sociology and autism theory, Alice can provide perspective from both theoretical and personal viewpoints.

Alice holds specific expertise in the use of parent-carer blame within autism services and has a deep understanding of parenting as an autistic adult. Alice is happy to provide training relating to either / both of these topics.

Sensory audits and accessibility assessments.

Bespoke sensory audits and accessibility assessments are available for any service facilitating events, training or conferences.

Ensuring an event is accessible for autistic people is crucial for inclusion. Considering the needs of autistic people during the planning stage of an event is time / cost efficient and allows autistic people to feel confident in their attendance.

Poorly designed environments and facilitation can adversely impact autistic attendees' health and well-being.

Alice can advise on how best to host both virtual and in-person events in an inclusive way, allowing for greater attendance and a more fulfilling experience for autistic attendees.

Alice's C.V is available on request.

Consultations are offered initially on a remote basis, beginning at £90 per hour.
