Associates & Consultants

AT-Autism is proud to work with some of the leading figures in autism and neurodevelopmental conditions. Our Associates range from specialist architects who can design autism-friendly buildings to some of the leading practitioners in health, education and social services. Our Associates have worked in senior positions within the public and charitable sectors and come with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Once a client contacts AT-Autism and we have a greater understanding of their particular needs, the Directors work with Associates to provide a tailored programme of work. One of the AT-Autism Directors will oversee the programme and is there to guarantee consistent lines of communication and to keep track on progress.

We guarantee that all the work we conduct is of the highest quality.

Expert Consultants

All of our consultants are experts in their respective fields. They are committed to the values and principles of AT-Autism and the highest standards of professional practice. Consultants are listed in alphabetical name order. 

A number of specialists are approved to undertake diagnosis and assessment including court work. All associates are available for public speaking, special projects and training subject to specification. Special projects include one-off bespoke assignments that might involve multiple aspects or more than one of the AT-Autism team working together or with the commissioning body.
