Introducing real people - Understanding Asperger Syndrome
A training resource for Essex County Council Learning Services, The target audience is schools who are teaching or about to enroll children with the condition, and need to quickly impart a basic awareness of the condition across the school staff as a whole.
A major concern for children and young people with Asperger syndrome is for those around them to understand their difficulties. Without insight into these it is all too easy for them to be dealt with unfairly, unsympathetically or even, cruelly.
Introducing real people - Understanding Asperger syndrome was born out of collaboration between Supporting Asperger Families in Essex (SAFE) and specialist psychologists and teachers in Essex County Council's Learning Services. The aim was to develop a professionally produced resource to help all those working with a child with Asperger syndrome in a school with an introduction to the syndrome, the sort of difficulties the children may encounter and, most importantly, hearing the views of young people themselves on what helps.
Introducing real people - Understanding Asperger syndrome consists of a video and free-standing training materials for use over one or two school based sessions. The materials are designed to be presented by anybody with a background In special educational needs but do not require specialist knowledge.
Cost: £50

A substantial departure from the mind-set of housing officers used to allocating available property based on points.
The video was produced in order to help cope with the heavy demand for information from other local authorities and social housing providers.
