Leon Allain

Leon Allain is an autistic young adult currently studying for a master’s degree. He feels his school education was vital in enabling him to pursue his studies and reach this position. As a result, he wishes to help ensure that all pupils are able to achieve in school by highlighting the importance of schools having an awareness of autism. He hopes that autistic pupils may then face fewer barriers whilst trying to access the curriculum. Autism is still generally misunderstood within our society and these misconceptions can have an impact on the way autistic students are perceived within the education system. Leon hopes that from this webinar you are able gain a greater understanding of autism and will be able to use this knowledge to better support the autistic pupils that you work with and those you may work with in the future.
