The Davis Autism Approach Workshop has been created to provide meaningful solutions for you or someone who you are supporting.
As a dedicated parent, educator or therapist, are you finding it difficult to understand, connect with, or effectively support your autistic child or student?
Is your child/student experiencing frustration and overwhelm due to the challenges of sensory sensitivities, meltdowns, social interactions, and communication barriers? Are traditional approaches failing to bring about any meaningful change?
Or perhaps you are contemplating a shift in your career path towards empowering autistic individuals, of any age, with the goal of unlocking their innate gifts… Envision a future where your contributions result in countless individuals experiencing joy and fulfillment in their lives, and acknowledge the profound impact you’ve made.
If any of these are you, you’ve come to the right place! At Davis, we understand autism’s unique challenges and strengths because our methods were developed by an autistic genius to assist others like him. That’s what makes the Davis Autism Approach® uniquely special and life-changing.

Originally trained as a linguist, Richard speaks several European languages and is also a PATOSS-accredited Specialist Teacher Assessor, with a particular interest in multilingual SpLD assessment. He previously served for six years as Special Educational Needs Coordinator in a leading British independent school.
