In this programme, Jess provides an introduction to Autism Swim with discussions including:

• What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
• Specialist supports in aquatic environments.
• The 10 most common challenges experienced in lessons.

This programme contains a full webinar recording which has already taken place, delivered by Jessica Thackeray, Paediatric Occupational Therapist (Autism Swim).
