The Western Health and Social Care Trust has partnered with Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and the Department for the Economy Careers Advice Service to host events leading up to World Autism Acceptance Week 2026, from 28 March to 3 April.

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council will hold an Outdoor Sensory Event called Nature Makes Sense at The Grange in Omagh on 19 March 2026. Another event is set for 26 March 2026 at Smith’s Strand in Lisnaskea.

The Western Trust will run virtual online sessions for parents and carers of children and young people with a confirmed autism diagnosis. Topics include supporting sensory differences, autism and anxiety, and autism in the teenage years.

The Trust's Early Intervention Team will host virtual online events for those awaiting diagnostic assessment. These cover the power of play and managing worries.

On 2 April 2026, World Autism Awareness Day, the Department for the Economy will hold a Careers Service Awareness Session for parents. The session will explain how the service supports children and young people with autism in planning future options. The service has launched a digital tool named How I Work for young people with autism.
