What Education Professionals say about The Curly Hair Project
"A 'must read' for anyone who wants to know more about autism. I wish I had read it when I was SENCO as I would have made it essential reading for all at the school I worked at. I found it easy to read, Alis writes from her experience and I found it interesting to think of pupils I have taught, giving me a better insight into the reasons for some reactions and behaviours I started off highlighting interesting sections, but ended up with most of the book highlighted! It kept me reading til the early hours as I found it so interesting."
"Every teacher should engage with Alis's work."
"Alis's work is by far the best, most helpful, most informative, information on autism."
Unlocking the potential of your students: Autism Courses for Education Professionals
Our courses help teachers and teaching assistants to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for students with autism. We cover essential topics such as effective communication, managing anxiety, understanding sensory processing, and social interaction.
Our courses provide valuable insights and strategies to improve your teaching skills, whether you work in a primary or secondary school or as a support staff member. We offer individual courses that target specific areas or bundle pack options for a more comprehensive understanding of autism in educational contexts.
If you’re interested in helping students with autism become more organised and independent, we have courses tailored just for you. These courses will also guide you on recognising and managing anxiety in your students, creating a supportive environment that leads to the best possible learning outcomes. Our courses offer unique insights into the achievements and challenges of individuals on the autism spectrum, and they’re written and narrated by Alis Rowe.
If you are a teacher or teaching assistant, our courses will help you adapt your teaching methods to suit the different learning styles of autistic students. You will also learn how to provide personalised support to help students become more independent and engaged in the classroom.
If you’re a secondary school teacher, our course, A Day at Secondary School for The Girl With The Curly Hair, can provide insights into how autism can impact a teenager’s experience in school. It will also give you an idea of a typical school day for an autistic student and what support mechanisms your school could have to help these students.
We also offer courses that cater to further education, such as A Day at College for The Girl With The Curly Hair and A Day at University for The Girl With The Curly Hair. Both of these courses will help you support young autistic individuals in planning for their future and achieving their potential at university.
By incorporating the principles and practices learned in our courses, you’ll experience the joy of seeing your students engage more confidently, communicate more effectively, and participate more actively in classroom activities. You’ll also foster friendships and social connections among your students, creating a sense of belonging and community within your classroom.

Learn more about The Curly Hair Project
Alis, who is the creator of The Curly Hair Project, wasn’t diagnosed until she was an adult, and her life was unbearable up until that point. She never wants anyone to feel as isolated and anxious as she did. Alis is now living a more comfortable and fulfilling life and this is only because of the strategies she has devised and succinctly communicated in the e-courses.
Along with our e-courses, we also have a variety of resources for Education Professionals such as:
The Curly Hair Project’s resources are endorsed by world’s leading psychologist Professor Tony Attwood.
