Autism Reality Experience

The Autism Reality Experience is an innovative, immersive and hands on training which has been developed to give neurotypical people an opportunity to enter the neurodiverse world and experience the sensory processing difficulties faced by people on the autism spectrum. 

Invented by Training 2 CARE’s CEO Glenn Knight and 150 Autistic people, the Autism Reality Experience truly puts the challenges that people with autism experience face into perspective to embed empathy, understanding and inclusive support.

The ‘ARE’ challenges normal thinking and directly confronts you with the profound impact of the environment, communication and much more.  As a delegate, you will feel the impact of:

• Hypersensitivity to the sensory environment

• How it feels to become overwhelmed

• Proprioceptive hyposensitivity

• Vestibular hypersensitivity

• Difficulty processing language and instructions

• Flexibility of thought issues

• Being in an environment that doesn’t account for your needs

The Autism Reality Experience is the benchmark that other autism training courses strive to achieve and by using specially developed sensory changing equipment, the delegates will be transported into a world that they could not imagine, just for a short period of time. After the experience there is an extensive de-brief that allows you to understand the changes you need to make to improve their lives.

The ‘ARE’ has a library of different settings to ensure training can be business/environmentally specific and below is a list of the different versions:

• Home

• School

• Prison

• Supermarket

• Airport

• Dentist

• Fire RTC

• Fire Home

• Bus

• Hospital

• Police

The Autism Reality Experience can be delivered anywhere in England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales via our 12 mobile simulators which ensures the integrity of the course with a very controlled environment.
