The inspiring and outstanding work of autism professionals has been celebrated at the finals of a prestigious national award.
The third annual Autism Professional Awards took place last week in Harrogate, when both volunteers and professionals were recognised.
The biggest accolade – the Lifetime Achievement Award – went to renowned autism expert Jim Taylor, from Stirling in Scotland, who has dedicated the past 30 years to educating and improving the prospects of children with autism, as a teacher, principal, and currently director of education at New Struan School in Alloa.
There were also a number of awards for educational provision, with Autisan, a fudge-making creative enterprise run by the National Autistic Society’s Robert Ogden School in South Yorkshire, taking the Inspirational Education Provision Award (secondary).
