Developing a business hat: why we need to think from the employer’s perspective

Liz Garnham, TSI Trainer and Consultant, DFN Project SEARCH Associate

“During our work with young people with disabilities we have to wear many hats, as an OT I was sometimes confidant, trainer, advocate, therapist, supporter, teacher, team member, organiser, manager, etc. We often become steeped in the ways of working in a ‘Service or Education World’ there is a language, culture and set of values that we work to”. In this session Liz shares her experiences of working with employers to support autistic individuals, and what can be done to increase employment opportunities amongst those with SEN.
