SALE Understanding Autism: Webinar/ eLearning Bundle

Would you like to increase your understanding of autism and learn strategies to support autistic people? 

If so, we would love it if you could join us on our new programme of autism awareness sessions. Delivered virtually by our expert trainer, Mike, these interactive webinars will provide an overview of what autism is and how living with autism can impact day-to-day life.

Mike has lived experience of autism within his family so we guarantee these sessions will be impactful and you will leave feeling more confident to care for people with autism.

Autism, along with other neurodivergent conditions, can often be misunderstood by society as well as health/social care and educational professionals. In addition, it isn't uncommon for autistic people and their families to misunderstand autism either. 

This interactive course will provide an overview of what autism is and how living with autism impacts day-to-day life. It will also help you challenge common misunderstandings and provide you with simple strategies to support autistic people.

Course contents include:

• Overview of what autism is/isn't
• Exploring the negative impact of sensory overload and what can be done to reduce its impact on autistic people
• Exploring behaviours that challenge in relation to autism
• Exploring what health, social care, the education system and others can do to support autistic people
