  3. The Autism and ADHD Show
Autism ADHD ECL Main

Join us at the largest gathering of the autism and ADHD community in the UK, taking place in Liverpool for the very first time!

The Autism & ADHD Show is packed with trusted information and advice, the latest developments in research and best practice, and a selection of specialist products and services to help you support a neurodivergent person in a home or school setting.

This year the event will also focus on the implications for parents, carers and professionals of the upcoming changes to the SEND system in England which were announced in the Schools White Paper earlier this year.

The comprehensive theatre programme offers a wide range of perspectives, from leading professionals sharing their expertise on core topics, to neurodivergent adults offering insights based on their lived experiences, to specialist practitioners providing effective strategies for day to day challenges.

Free one to one consultations with advisors and therapists are available on a first come, first served basis.

Children aged under 16 enter free of charge when accompanied by an adult. All content is CPD certified for professionals.

Concessionary tickets are available to any adult with Autism/ADHD, in receipt of DLA or PIP, unemployed, or a student. Proof of eligibility may be requested prior to event entry.
