Centre for Autism Wellbeing Hub Launch

The Wellbeing Hub is a new project funded through the support of University of Reading donors. For the last year, we have been working with autistic young people and their families to identify activities that we could offer and areas for research that will support autistic young people and their families to lead their best lives. By focusing on autistic thriving, we hope to create an inclusive community where, through meaningful collaboration, autistic young people, their families, and supporting professionals can explore what is important to autistic people in terms of living a good life. During our launch event, we will give a detailed overview of the project and set out how the autism community can be involved in shaping its future direction. The evening will include talks from Sarah O’Brien, autistic advocate, academic, published author and University of Reading alumnus Dr Fiona Knott and Dr Jo Billington, Wellbeing Hub project leads.

For those attending in person, after the talks there will be refreshments and the chance to review the latest autism-related research from members of the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences. All are welcome.
