For Scottish Autism, providing individual-led training that accounts for the lived experience of autistic people isn’t just a smart idea — it’s essential for understanding and empowering the people it supports. When traditional training couldn’t provide the flexibility, customization, and scalability needed, the non-profit organization turned to Absorb and several of its advanced features to create an innovative platform that gives supported people a voice in how they learn and makes learning more meaningful. 

Key achievements with Absorb LMS:

  • Empowered person-led learning: Scottish Autism co-created personalized training with autistic individuals using Absorb Create, embedding lived experience into course design and fostering a culture of neuro-affirming practice.
  • Boosted staff engagement and retention: With Absorb LMS, the organization revitalized its learning culture—96% of staff now view it as continuously supportive—leading to reduced turnover and stronger team connection.
  • Streamlined operations and reduced costs: By shifting to digital learning, Scottish Autism eliminated repetitive induction tasks and manual tracking, allowing resources to be redirected toward mission-critical initiatives.
