A short, to the point, helpful course in order to quickly get to grips with supporting someone with Autism.

This training course will cover:

• What is Autism?

• Flags for Autism.

• Autism as a Sensory Disability.

• Techniques that help.

• Using Visual Supports.

• Motivation and Reinforcement.

• Inappropriate Behaviour.

• Social Stories.

When you attend this course, you will learn what autism is (according to the Mother of two young adults with Autism) and how it affects their children or students in the learning environment.

You will learn ways to help support your pupils, to attend, to organise and to communicate when they need help utilising simple and affordable techniques such as picture schedules, token rewards, and visual aids.
