A day of information, exploration, and celebration of the local autistic community.The Furness Autism Expo has been designed by and for autistic people and will be held at The Bridge on Portland Walk in Barrow-in-Furness.
The day long conference will give you the opportunity to learn more about autism. Whether you're a working professional, a parent/carer, and/or an autistic person yourself. We hope there will be something of interest for everyone who attends.
Furness Autism Expo will include:
Speakers - Various talks and panel discussions from local autistic people and professionals. Focusing on subject areas including creativity, diagnosis pathways, employment, mental health, and more!
Note: A full agenda of speakers will be announced soon.
Community Showcase - Stalls hosted by various charities, community groups, and statutory services that work with autistic people.
Sensory Space - An opportunity to try and be shown lots of fidgets and sensory equipment, hosted by Hanna Munro Occupational Therapy.
