With Killarney recently declaring its intention of becoming an official autism-friendly town, it has been confirmed that related training programmes, delivered by Ireland’s national autism charity AsIAm, will take place in the Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney on March 5.
The training is free and open to anyone with an interest in autism or making their organisation more autism-friendly.
There will be two sessions available, from 10.00am to 12 noon or 2.00pm to 4.00pm.
The training is part of a new initiative aimed at making Killarney autism-friendly, launched recently in partnership with AsIAm with the backing of over 30 businesses, public sector and charity organisations in the town.
One of the main reasons for the training is to enable from these organisations to learn about aspects of autism and simple changes that can help create an environment that considers the needs of local residents and visitors with autism.
The training is being organised by Killarney Autism Friendly Committee, a voluntary group dedicated to autism acceptance and accessibility.
