Lighthouse Training & Outreach

About us...

Lighthouse Training & Outreach service was founded in 2018 to assist the growing need for specialist autism support within the region. We believe that early intervention and the right support can have a lasting impact and transform the lives of autistic children and young adults.

Our Training & Outreach service aims to share our established in-school expertise, specialist support strategies and evidence-based practice. Our specialist outreach staff bring a wealth of experience and have a high level of training in autism-specific approaches and advocate for neuro-affirming support. They have, and continue to access, certified training from leading providers and autistic advocates on a regular basis.

Our range of outreach, training and consultancy services utilise the knowledge and expertise of our staff to deliver life-changing outcomes for autistic children and young adults in other provisions and at home. Our approach is person-centred and tailored to meet individual needs.
