Autism training for educators
Autism: Seeing the Big Picture
| Duration | 2 hours |
| Delivery | Your choice of live online, in-person, or pre-recorded presentation |
This presentation explores Sensory, Cognitive, Social, Rigidity, Communication and Engagement/Play as six key areas which impact Autistic children and adults in varying ways. We explore ways to see the world through the perspective of someone with Autism, increase the child’s skills and reduce demands to maximise confidence, wellbeing and success for all involved.
Educators build their understanding of key terminology of neurodiversity. This then builds their confidence to discuss concerns and strategies with families and therapists.
Fictional case studies are included. These give the educators an opportunity to realise that they do have the knowledge and confidence to plan strategies, or know where to get further support if they need it.
Almost every Early Childhood setting includes children who have already, or may in future, receive a diagnosis of Autism. Building the capacity of educators to understand the perspective of those with Autism in their care, builds the success and confidence for educators, families and children.
