Course Overview

Autism training for teachers.

Children with autism may face challenges in expressing their wants and needs, which makes it vital for both learning support assistants, teachers and parents to learn and evolve their communication approach and have the right tools to hand.

The spectrum of communication abilities among children with autism is wide, from nonverbal to highly articulate. This makes it hugely challenging for teachers to recognise and adapt their teaching approach effectively for every child. For example, when teaching children with autism who are non-verbal it is essential to understand the importance of non-verbal communication and respond to cues like gestures, body language, and facial expressions. Mastering this skill (and others we’ll teach you on this course) will improve communication and trust in your classroom, and help you form deeper bonds with the children in your care. By matching your communication style to theirs you’ll ultimately create a more positive school experience for all.

If you want to learn how to tailor your approach to be autism-inclusive, adapting your approach to the needs of each child, then this course is for you. You’ll gain an insight into the various communication methods children with ASD are likely to use and how to implement these strategies within your home or classroom.
