Supporting Autistic Students

SELF-PACED ONLINE ON-DEMAND COURSE

With increasing numbers of Autistic students identified in mainstream schools, we need to adjust our approach to allow for neurodiverse thinking, communication and interaction styles in the classroom and playground. 

Through this 10-part course we will discuss neurodiversity affirming approaches to learning that can increase engagement and reduce anxiety and burnout among Autistic students. We'll also be taking in all of your questions to give you the advice, tools and confidence you need to better support autistic students in your care, your classroom, or your clinic.
