My pricing is on a sliding scale.
My pricing is on a sliding scale, to accommodate different sizes of organisation and different requirements. I am happy to work with you and your budget.
The costs in the table on this page are the maximum you will pay. As well as my fee you will need to pay travel expenses. If an overnight stay is required, the cost of a hotel and food will need to be added to your invoice. Both travel and accommodation can be estimated at the time of booking.
Where possible, I book my travel and accommodation on the day you book so as to save you money. Once travel and accommodation are booked, I e-mail you to confirm its cost.
Help, my emotions are too big!

Autism is a wide spectrum, and it often intersects with other conditions/spectrums. This session focuses on establishing what Autism is, and how it affects people in different ways; both in terms of difficulties and abilites.
