Autism Awareness (6 hours)
Course Overview
This full day course will offer a detailed insight into this complex and fascinating subject and is perfectly suited for those people who support individuals on the autism spectrum.
The course will explain what autism is and will include a brief history, alongside challenging some of the popular myths and misconceptions around the condition. Our trainer will also look at the diagnostic criteria, to help you understand some of the differences found in people on the autism spectrum. The course will also cover in detail the sensory experiences of people on the autism spectrum, how they process information and think differently, as well as how support should be autism specific and tailored to the person, including information about how to make reasonable adjustments under The Equality Act 2010.
