Liverpool pupils with autism share school experience
It's being shared with schools to help them better understand the challenges these students face
Liverpool students with autism have been sharing what life at school is like for them, to improve their teachers understanding of the condition.
A video has been created by Liverpool City Council, which will be used to educate staff across Merseyside.
It's hoped this will help teachers better understand the challenges students with autism face, so they can do more to help.
Jenny Turnross, Director of Children and Young People’s Services said:
"I am delighted Liverpool City Council has joined with partners to lead on such an important project. Listening to the lived experience of pupils and their families is crucial when increasing awareness and understanding of autism.
"Work like this allows professionals to gain invaluable insight to support all students more effectively and promote inclusive classrooms where every child can thrive."
