Interpersonal and communication skills workshops

Free workshops on interpersonal and communication skills based on business communication are being offered to adults with high-functioning autism or Asperger syndrome.

The workshops, at Manchester Business School (MBS), are based on the book A strategy of conflict by 2005 Nobel Prize winner Thomas Schelling.

Colin Ingleton, a chartered psychologist at Manchester Business School, has taught communications skills advocated by Professor Schelling since 1989. Colin is committed to giving you access to relevant ideas from this recent Nobel Prize winner.

From August 2007, we will offer at MBS a short series of workshops sponsored by The National Autistic Society, and subsidised by the University of Manchester.

The workshops will use experience adapted and developed through the teaching of interpersonal and communication skills to students on business administration courses.

Your progress is monitored and the programme will be evaluated by a team from the University of Northumbria, funded by the Government Department of Work and Pensions, working with Research Autism.

Your participation is for a minimum of 18 hours, with two trips to Manchester for each workshop.

Please email Colin at Colin.Ingleton@mbs.ac.uk for further details, including how to apply.
