The Autism Reality Experience offers an innovative and immersive training opportunity for neurotypical individuals to step into the neurodiverse world. Through hands-on experiences, participants gain insight into the sensory processing challenges encountered by individuals on the autism spectrum. A unique opportunity to foster understanding, inclusivity and most importantly empathy.
The Autism Reality Experience training was an insightful and valuable experience. It provided a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals on the autism spectrum and helped in fostering a more empathetic and supportive approach to their needs.
I found the interactive elements particularly engaging, as they allowed us to experience firsthand some of the sensory and communication challenges. This has been helpful in reflecting on how to better tailor my interactions and support strategies for students.
All staff thoroughly enjoyed the experience and also thought Stuart who was delivering the session was great.
It was a great experience. I wish it had lasted longer to give me an increased knowledge.
Absolutely amazing.
Love the experience. I always try explaining to myself and others. It wasn't like looking through VR glasses and putting life as they see it into boxes and if everything that happens in the day that doesn't fit into the boxes . This could cause stress and anxiety
I found the overall experience very helpful especially the de-brief after the experience that explained why I displayed certain behaviours during it. I felt I really benefited from the experience with a gained knowledge of autism and behaviours.
It was truly amazing and I think all teaching staff should experience this training. What an eye opener. It has most definitely changed my view on teaching and how to adapt it to ASC learners.
A huge thank you once again.
ARE for Schools

The school version has been developed with the support of Seax Trust, Kingswode Hoe School and their pupils. Indeed, many of the children that participated in the making of this training course have a diagnosis of autism and were able to tell us about the challenges that they face in their daily lives at the school. Delivered to many schools across the UK, this version is perfect for any school worker to help understand which changes to make to improve the educational experience of the children and the families they serve.
Primary school for autistic children will initially be a very intimidating prospect and a massive change to routines. Schools have a need to ensure that staff have the knowledge and empathy to make the school as inclusive as possible. Everybody that supports children in any educational setting must understand the challenges that they face first hand. Unlike any training available around the world, the Autism Reality Experience school version is the only course that can allow educational staff to walk in the shoes of the children within their care. This outstanding course has now been experienced by over 150 different educational settings and continues to drive change, inspire confidence and change the lives of children and adults throughout their educational journeys.
The school version is ideally suited for:
- School teachers
- SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) Support workers
- Head teachers
- Children in school
- College's teaching future educational workers
- Any educational support companies that may come into direct contact with pupils.
- Families
