Reviews

" Comfortable, friendly and a real language discussion around autism with real examples...informative in an easy and interesting and engaging way" - 2023

"My husband and I have just attended your autism in the classroom session and found it really informative. Such a lot of information in a short space of time and really clearly delivered." - 2022

"I thought last night’s session was great. As well as giving me an insight into some of the challenges autistic people face, it also left me feeling really positive about my son’s future following a recent diagnosis." - 2022

"Thank you for a really good session. I have just purchased your books and will recommend your sessions to others. " 2021

"A big thank you - an extremely beneficial training session which has given me a far better understanding of this subject!" 2021

"I thought Helen was an amazingly well-informed expert who delivered the training clearly. I think it should be on our training calendar every year. I would definitely recommend her to other organisations." 2021

" Helen visited us today to present an assembly to our pupils (aged 4 - 11) to raise awareness of Autism. Her assembly was engaging and informative, whilst being wholly child-focused. Helen shared the key points with clarity and confidence, and was very willing to answer the many questions from our pupils. I hope that this is just the start of a greater understanding of Autism in our school. We look forward to welcoming Helen back soon to deliver a parent workshop for our local community."

"Helen gave relevant and interesting information in a format that was easy to understand. Her passion shone through and her anecdotes and answers to questions were excellent. I have attended lots of autism training in the past and found this to give me new insights I hadn’t had before and have already started to implement what I have learnt in my role. I would highly recommend her training and would attend any thing she offers in the future."

I have had quite a lot of training on this subject. In my opinion I would rate Helen Eaton as one of the best, if not the best trainer I have heard. She was clearly passionate about Autism and was very knowledgeable on the subject. This enthusiasm came across clearly in her presentation. I really liked her style and I think the small group discussions worked really well. The 2 hours seemed to fly by and I could not believe it when she said there was only 5 minutes left. That must be a good sign! A great training session enabling the team to support our vulnerable students with a refreshed and clearer understanding."

"A very informative introduction to a complex subject allowing plenty of time for discussion and reflection. The session contained many examples of good practice and suggestions of methods to apply for continuous improvement when working with autistic people.

I now feel I have an improved understanding for working with youngsters in a Forest School setting and look forward to improving my support contribution."

"I have attended an Autism Awareness training session in the past but this was far more informative and gave me a good understanding of how the autistic brain functions. It covered everything from the diagnosis process to the everyday struggles that people with autism face and strategies we can adopt to alleviate their stress and anxiety. I feel that this training will benefit me enormously with the students I work with as it has provided me with a greater comprehension of autism and will enable me to meet their needs more effectively and with more empathy."

"From my point of view, I have never attended training before that has so quickly and readily been put in to practice. The day after the training it was apparent that staff where more mindful of, and were practically applying, aspects of the training, in particular regarding hypo- and hypersensitivity. The little fuzzy ball to illustrate the 'autistic brain' has stuck with me and has definitely informed my own practice."

"I just wanted to say thank you for your time yesterday. I feel more lifted in myself and have a number of directions to go in to help my son and his sensory journey. Thank you again"
