One-day course
This course has been designed by a highly experienced and knowledgeable trainer in the field of autism. Her professional background, combined with her personal experience of having a brother with autism and learning disabilities, guarantees a high standard of training. Her unique insights and empathetic understanding add a significant and authentic dimension to the training provided.
The course adopts an approach centred on the dissemination of knowledge and skills aimed at enhancing participants' comprehension of autism. Real-life examples will be intricately woven throughout the training day, thereby enriching the learning experience. Feedback from previous sessions has highlighted how sharing her brother’s experiences has allowed participants to effectively connect theoretical concepts of autism with the practical realities of supporting individuals as they age.
Key themes will be underscored alongside the defined learning outcomes, with a positive emphasis on their significance. These themes include recognising the individual identity of persons with autism, understanding the complexities of communication, preparing to reduce anxiety—a critical aspect of autism—and the importance of holistic support and collaboration with families and caregivers.
