• Course overview



    Eligibility: This course is open to South Gloucestershire education professionals working in the Early Years, which includes Childminders, Pre-Schools, Nurseries and School Reception Classes

    This virtual session focuses on the importance of getting to know a child and how autism affects them.  We will look at examples of distressed behaviours and how these can be supported through a range of strategies, approaches, and reasonable adjustments.  The module also guides delegates through how to gather information about an autistic child's interests, aspirations, strengths and differences and how this information can be used when developing a child-centred plan.  The module introduces the AET Early Years Competency Framework so that delegates can develop and evaluate their good autism practice following completion of the module.
