Autism Education Trust

The Autism Education Trust (AET) is a not for profit programme led by two national autism charities – the National Autistic Society (NAS) and Ambitious about Autism (AaA). 

Established and supported by the Department for Education, the AET promotes and supports partnerships throughout the education system to improve educational access, experience and outcomes for autistic children and young people. Underpinned by current research into good autism practice, the AET programme is structured around the three education phases – Early Years, Schools and Post 16. 

Our vision is a world where all autistic children and young people experience a positive education that supports wellbeing.

Our mission is to empower the education workforce and support them in securing a positive education that supports wellbeing for all autistic children and young people.
