Schools and Educational Environments
What we do?
Whether you want to ensure your organisation provides accessible, autistic and neurodivergent affirming education/services to CYP (Children & Young People) and their families, or are looking for wider autism strategy development, our team can work with you to ensure you achieve your aims. We offer tailored consultancy to schools and are proud to be a part of Alternative Provision in Oxfordshire.
Why choose us?
Our unique skills, perspective and experience provide teams with an exciting and holistic approach to ensuring your environment and mindset is geared towards enabling autistic people to reach their potential.
Alternative Provision Approved Provider
We are proud to be on the Oxfordshire County Council’s Alternative Provision Approved Provider open framework.
Our approach to engaging with the CYP and their family will be informed by what we learn in the initial assessment stage. Our first step is to ask the school to complete our referral form.

EOTAS Support
Education Otherwise than at School (EOTAS) is an educational provision for children who can't attend a mainstream or special school for a multitude of reasons. EOTAS is arranged and funded by the local authority. Enquire via the button below to see how Autism Champions can support with coordinating and implementing care and education outside of the school environment.
Education Specific Training
We offer two trainings aimed at understanding Autism. We’ll explore differing environments, and how to offer support. The first of these training is an Introduction to Autism. The second training includes the Introduction to Autism session, but in a second session explores how your school can adapt your newfound knowledge to your own environment.
