This essential handbook provides a self-study route through the successful SPELL framework, which promotes the understanding of autism and offers a person-centred, neurodiversity-affirming approach. The book guides the reader through the updated and revised materials, highlighting when to watch particular videos and do the various exercises and activities. It also includes a new audit, which attendees can bring back to their school, service, or workplace to assess their environment against the principles of the SPELL framework and look at ways to make improvements. Aimed at health and social care workers, professionals in the wider education system and employers looking to improve their workplace, this updated revision is also relevant for further settings including those working in mental health services within the community and criminal justice system. Companion to Understanding and Responding to Autism: The SPELL framework training pack.

SPELL is a proven framework for understanding and responding to autism in a way that enables autistic people to participate in all aspects of their lives and to be valued, respected and heard. SPELL stands for Structure (to reduce ambiguity and anxiety), Positive Approaches, Attitudes and Expectations (to foster a neurodiversity-affirming approach), Empathy (to see things from the perspective of others), Low Arousal (to reduce sensory processing stressors), and Links (to ensure consistency of support). Building on the success of its predecessors, the third edition of the SPELL training pack has been extensively updated by a team of autistic authors and allies following many years of experience across different settings, and offers a comprehensive, fully resourced, person-centred approach for anyone seeking to deliver SPELL classroom training. The pack includes a copy of the Self-Study Guide, also available separately.
