Happy National Autism Awareness Day 2025!🧩

As part of World Autism Acceptance Month, today is an important day for promoting understanding and acceptance of people on the autism spectrum.

Autistic people face discrimination and barriers across all sectors of society. Speech and language therapists play a pivotal role in supporting autistic people, their families and carers to overcome these barriers by ensuring they have access to tailored information, guidance and resources as well as providing opportunities to explore their interests, develop skills and build friendships for fulfilled lives.
