Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disorder that changes how a person understands the world. Every autistic person is different and requires an understanding of their specific strengths and challenges by those around them in order to be included into their community settings. This course provides a general overview of the autism diagnosis and strategies to support autistic individuals.
In this course, you will:
- Understand the key characteristics of autism spectrum disorder
- Learn practical evidence-based strategies based on applied behaviour analysis (ABA)
- Identify social-communication and sensory needs and appropriate strategies to support these skills
- Define “inclusion” and provide strategies to successfully include individuals on the spectrum into various community settings
This course will provide you with the skills and knowledge required to support the success of autistic individuals at school and at home. Bonus module: Who says ABA is just for autism?
