Listen Later

In this insightful episode of On The Spectrum, we are joined by Dr Beverley Samways, founder and director of Unique Connections, to explore the complex and sensitive topic of trauma, particularly in the context of learning disabilities and autism.

With over 20 years of experience in the care sector, Dr Samways shares her deep understanding of trauma-informed care and how emotional literacy and relational support can help individuals who self-injure or show signs of distress. We discuss how her organisation, Unique Connections, works with schools and care providers to create tailored, meaningful approaches that start by finding a unique point of connection with each individual.

Whether you're a professional, caregiver, or someone seeking to understand trauma more deeply, this episode is filled with compassion, experience, and practical guidance.
