    Course overview

    Eligibility: This course is open to South Gloucestershire education professionals working in the Early Years, which includes childminders, preschools, nurseries and school reception classes.

    Anxiety is one of the top concerns for neurodivergent people, their families, and the professionals who work with them. By listening to the voices of those with lived experience, we were able to create a module that helps others to understand how anxiety can impact on a neurodivergent child’s daily life.  

    This 3.5 hour module will help delegates to think about the reasonable adjustments that can be made to support young autistic children, with the aim of creating long lasting impactful change to the Early Years environment. 

    On completion of the module, delegates will receive a Practical Support Pack which contains a collection of practical tools, templates, top tips, checklists and strategies to use to support autistic children.

     

    Learning outcomes

    As a result of this course you will have knowledge and skills in the following areas:

    • Increase delegates’ expertise in being able to recognise the causes of anxiety in young neurodivergent children.   
    • Develop delegates’ skills in identifying how an autistic child might express their anxiety.   
    • Help delegates become more aware of their own actions and how these can impact on a child’s level of anxiety.    
    • Develop delegates’ understanding of the reasonable adjustments they can make to prevent and reduce a child's anxiety.
    • Understand that autism and neurodivergence is a difference rather than a deficit or disorder. 
    • Recognise the Three Areas of Difference in autism and how these can impact on a child’s levels of anxiety.
    • Recognise the first step to helping a child is to learn about them, their triggers and their preferred means of support.
