Description
Early Childhood Ireland is delighted host a 3-part webinar series with AsIAm – delivering autism expertise. This 3-part webinar will be suitable for all early learning and care educators supporting children on the autism spectrum within their settings.

| Fiona Ferris – Deputy Chief Executive Officer at AsIAm |  |
Fiona joined AsIAm in 2017 as the Early Years Specialist, coming from a background of Early Years Management. She wished to contribute her own experiences of being autistic, and a parent to a child on the spectrum, to help others understand things from an autistic perspective. In her talks, Fiona aims to give practical, relatable knowledge and strategies to assist others in supporting the autistic community to meet their own individual potential and fully participate in their community. Fiona’s special interests include World War II, all things autism, her two pups Lady and Teddy and her newly discovered love of painting!
