    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 two session, twilight module focuses on the importance of getting to know a child and how autism affects them. We 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 NEN Early Years Competency Framework so that delegates can develop and evaluate their good autism practice following completion of the module.
