Course Highlights
Enhance your understanding and awareness of autism with this Autism Awareness course. This course will help you understand the autism spectrum and the expected behaviours of people with autism. You’ll realise how people feel when they have autism and how to raise awareness.
The Autism Awareness course will educate you about different autistic spectrum disorders and the learning disability caused by them. Then, the course will explain the process of diagnosing autism. You’ll learn about methods and processes for an accurate diagnosis to identify symptoms and provide appropriate support. Next, the course will introduce you to the cognitive theories in autism to help children and families better understand the issues a child is facing. Facilitating cognition will help promote learner comprehension and help children avoid negative emotions.
Autistic individuals face problems communicating and socialising with others. In this Autism Awareness Course, you’ll also identify the coping mechanisms for patients to develop social skills and manage their conditions better. This will help ensure children interact, communicate and make connections. The course also covers many other approaches to help autistic individuals feel better, alleviate certain conditions and reach their full potential.
