Do you want to develop your knowledge and skills in supporting the learning of autistic children?
There are lots of things to consider when supporting the very unique abilities and needs of autistic children and young people, to ensure you are enabling them to have opportunities to reach their potential.
Autistic minds think and learn in different ways and therefore it is necessary to adapt your teaching, communication and environment to enhance learning.
What may seem to be small adjustments can really make a BIG difference.
It can be a real struggle trying to work out the best ways to support children, especially when each child is so different and has their own strengths and challenges.
These courses will equip you with a wide range of ‘tools’, strategies and resources, so that you can draw upon them in different circumstances, as and when needed.
How Will These Courses Benefit Me?
Expand your understanding of autism, communication needs, sensory processing, emotional regulation and social interaction, and practical ways you can help and support.
Have a ‘tool-box’ of evidence-based strategies, resources and skills, that you can use to support different individual abilities and needs
Have a plan for each key area of development and how you can implement support strategies to enhance your child’s progress
Feel confident with implementing different support strategies and speaking about the impact with other professionals.
