It covers the assessment methods and criteria used for diagnosing autism to give educators a better awareness and understanding of the condition.
In addition to teaching how to recognise autism, the course provides tools for behaviour management, supporting learning, and inclusion. Participants will discuss helpful strategies and best practice for teaching students with autism, focusing on how to communicate effectively and meet sensory needs.
