Online Autism Training (Coming Soon)
We have a limited number of online training modules provided by the National Autistic Society becoming available for carers caring for someone with autism:
Understanding Autism
This introductory online module provides perspectives from people on the autism spectrum about how autism is defined and experienced. The module will enable learners to recognise the strengths and challenges experienced by many people on the spectrum and how to respond to create enabling environments.
Autism and Communication
This introductory online module explores how to recognise communication differences for people on the spectrum and what factors impact upon successful communication. This will allow learners to respond to communication differences to effectively support people on the autism spectrum.
Autism and Sensory Experiences
This introductory online module explores how people respond to information from the senses and how this can be experienced differently by people on the spectrum. Learners will be better able to recognise the impact of these differences for people on the spectrum and how to respond to sensory needs to provide effective support.
Autism, Stress and Anxiety
This introductory online module explores the differences in how people on the spectrum experience stress and anxiety. Learners will explore the factors that impact on stress and anxiety, in order to provide effective support to reduce that impact on people on the spectrum.
Autism: Supporting Families
This introductory online module explores providing support for people on the spectrum and their families. Learners will discover the experiences of families, consider common difficulties and acquire effective approaches for support.
