What Works (and What Doesn’t) When Supporting Students Waiting for an Autism Assessment?

In this session, Rachel and Cate will cut through the uncertainty of the assessment backlog to focus on what matters most: the pupil in front of you. With waiting lists for neurodevelopmental pathways reaching record highs, they will share evidence-based strategies to provide immediate provision without the need for a formal diagnosis. From sensory-friendly adjustments to communication tweaks, Rachel and Cate will highlight the high-impact moves that actually work and the common pitfalls that are better left behind.
