Course delivery details
For online based courses, you will study your course and submit work online. Paper based courses are the same as online, but with additional printed study packs sent to you.
In just 100 hours you will understand how autism is identified and diagnosed, whilst also being given the opportunity to explore the key features of autism (in terms of the &'triad of impairments') and the best ways to promote good health, social inclusion and active participation.
In other words, you will learn how to create a safe and comforting environment for children with autism, where they are able to flourish, grow and achieve their true learning potential.
This knowledge – combined with the skills you'll learn during our Teaching Assistant course – can offer you the tools to make an incredible difference to the children in your care as you'll be able to accurately read their responses, their intention and their behavioural cues.
This course is a fantastic addition for anyone looking to work with children and specialise in a highly rewarding field, as alongside gaining a thorough understanding of the autism spectrum (and the various disorders which commonly accompany it); you'll also be able to complete this course from the comfort of your own home.
No classes. No exams. No strict deadlines.
