Introduction to Autism
Explore our Introduction to Autism course to master visual aids, meltdown strategies, and life skills training, enriching your ability to support individuals with autism.
Course Highlights
Life with autism is not easy. Many individuals don’t feel involved or accepted in society. They need help to live happily in the real world. Autism awareness and acceptance lead to earlier recognition of symptoms. Therefore, early intervention can be provided to an autistic child to improve their developmental outcomes in behaviour, communication and socialisation. This course will strengthen your ability to work with children having autism or learning disability.
The Introduction to Autism course will give you a profound understanding of autism creatures and various autism medications. First, you’ll learn about autism symbols, the symptoms of autism and different types of autism spectrum disorders in children, like Asperger’s syndrome and ADHD. Next, you’ll understand what are visual aids for autism, and the effectiveness and types of visual aids. The autism treatments course will also describe the strategies to calm down a child experiencing autism meltdowns, tantrums, anxiety and aggression.
Again, the Introduction to Autism course will explain how to teach functional and life skills to children with autistic spectrum disorders. These skills cover different areas, such as daily living and personal care. Finally, you’ll understand how to plan and conduct storytime sessions to develop language skills, attention spans and social connections among children. For further information about autism, signs of autism in babies, adult autism diagnosis, pathological demand avoidance symptoms, high-functioning autism and autism treatments, feel free to contact us.
