Meet the training team

Roisin has a masters in clinical psychology, focusing her research on better understanding the diagnostic criteria of autism and awareness of it across public and professional sectors.

She previously worked in a specialist autism-specific setting, supporting young people with autism and complex needs using varied psychological and behavioural approaches. She has also worked as a Visitor Support at a men’s prison, supporting prisoners with autism, mental health issues and learning disabilities. She worked with colleagues and visitors to the prison to help them understand these differences and signpost them to where they can find further support and guidance.

She is passionate about training people and raising awareness of autism. Her education and experience have provided her with an in-depth knowledge of autism in different contexts.

After a varied career spanning 15 years within further education, Clare moved to Ambitious about Autism and has developed a range of programmes and services including Treehouse School sixth form careers development; Learner and Family Engagement; Youth Participation; Autism Exchange and now oversees the development and implementation of the national Employ Autism programme.
