PACT Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy

18/09/2026

Imagine a child reaches towards something.

Instead of immediately helping, a parent pauses.

The child looks.
The parent waits.
Something happens.

Maybe a glance. Maybe a sound. Maybe a gesture.

That tiny moment can become an opportunity for connection.

It's one of the things we love about PACT: helping parents notice the communication that is already there and build on it.

Sometimes communication is happening before we realise it is.

A glance.
A movement towards you.
A pause.
A smile.
A change in expression.
A tiny moment of shared attention.

PACT encourages parents and practitioners to slow down and notice these moments, because communication isn't always about words.

Sometimes the most important thing is simply noticing what is already happening between two people. 💙

Sometimes the most useful conversation starts with: "Has anyone else seen this?"

One of the lovely things about a professional community is knowing that you're not the only person working through the tricky bits.

A question about a family.
A moment you weren't sure how to interpret.
Something that worked brilliantly.
Something that didn't.

Sharing those experiences helps all of us learn.

That's the thinking behind our growing PACT community. 🌱

What happens after the training ends?

You've completed your PACT training.

You've learned the approach, practised the skills and started using them with families.

And then comes the bit that isn't always talked about: real life.

The tricky cases.
The unexpected moments.
The questions you didn't have during training.

Sometimes, having other people who understand the approach to talk things through with can make all the difference.

We're passionate about building a PACT community where learning doesn't stop when the training finishes.

Because there's always more to learn from each other. 💙

"We're not trying to change behaviour. We're trying to promote natural communication and interaction."

That simple statement captures the heart of PACT.

In this short clip from one of our recent webinars, PACT Trainer Wilson Mora explains how the programme supports children and families by building on strengths, respecting each child's unique journey, and fostering meaningful communication.

One of the most powerful moments from one of our recent webinars.

PACT isn't only about changing interactions.

It's about changing how we notice interactions.

As Sharon Shargeant explains, the question becomes:

Who is adapting most in the interaction... the adult or the child?

Why these numbers matter 💙

2,300+ professionals trained.

9 international franchise partners.

These are milestones we're incredibly proud of.

But the most important number isn't on this list.

It's the thousands of autistic children and families whose lives have been touched by PACT.

Every professional we train is another opportunity for a family to receive evidence-based support. Another chance for a parent to better understand their child's communication. Another relationship strengthened through everyday moments of connection.

Behind every course, every certification and every new practitioner is a family beginning their own journey.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the PACT community, whether you've trained with us, partnered with us or supported families along the way. Together, we're helping to make evidence-based, family-centred support available to more people across the UK and around the world.

💙 Here's to the families we've already reached, and the many more still to come.
