Summary of Pete’s talk

Part of good inclusion is ensuring that people have what they need to be able to function well, and to feel comfortable in their environment.  Pete will start by talking a little about what we know about the importance of sensory comfort to autistic wellbeing.  He will then go on to explore the various ways we can achieve sensory comfort, as autistic individuals and in organisations, and will offer the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the topic.
