Supporting individuals with autism
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people around them. According to the National Autistic Society, autism affects about 700,000 people in the United Kingdom, which equates to 1 in 100 of the population and the number of children being diagnosed with the condition is continuing to increase.
This Autism Awareness course will touch on what factors contribute towards a child developing autism, as well as some of the typical behaviours associated with it, and how you can provide effective support for those with the condition.
It also discusses what happens during the diagnosis process, some of the intervention methods that can help manage the condition and suggests some simple adaptations you can make to improve a child with autism's day-to-day life.
Special education and autism
This course would be ideal for people working in adult and child care environments. Those working in all areas of care may come into contact with people who have Autistic Spectrum Disorders ASD.
Although the course focuses on children with autism, having an awareness of the condition and how best to provide support to someone with ASD will be of use to anyone who interacts with and cares for children and adults as part of their work.
CPD approval means that this course can be used by those that need to prove they are continually developing themselves.
Online training is flexible, efficient and cost effective meaning you can progress through the modules at your own pace and in your own time, so you can fit the training in around your work and personal life.
