Buckinghamshire Council Early Years Service are delighted to have been awarded the Autism Education Trust Early Years Training licence, we are also the Regional Partner for the South East. The AET training is a modular training programme for practitioners and all those working in Early Years settings. In addition to the training and to support practitioners further the AET offers:

• A range of practical resources

Training modules for Early Years include:

• Making Sense of Autism - basic autism awareness training for all practitioners in all early years settings, whether or not they work directly with children with autism.
• Good Autism Practice – designed to support all practitioners working directly with children on the autism spectrum to develop their practice.
