Autism Awareness

Autism affects 1 in 100 of the population, and the number of children being diagnosed with the condition is continuing to increase. Knowledge of the typical behaviours and challenges associated with autism can equip you to identify these and act in a supportive way.

This CPD approved course is tailored towards workers in adult and childcare sectors who may encounter persons with Autism in their workplace, aiming to provide such persons with an understanding of what autism is, how Autism affects one’s daily life and what factors contribute towards a child developing autism. Typical behaviours associated with autism and how to provide effective support for those with the condition are also analysed as well as intervention methods and simple adaptations that can help manage the condition improving a person with autism's day to day life.
