Supporting children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder

About this workshop

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts brain development causing an individual with ASD to experience persistent challenges with social communication and interaction, and repetitive and characteristic patterns of behaviour, interests or activities. 

Without appropriate support, these challenges can escalate and have a disruptive impact on the child’s academic, social and independent functioning.

This workshop provides parents, educators, disability staff and therapists with knowledge and strategies to help children of all ages with ASD to develop their skills and reach their full potential.

In this practical and interactive workshop, you’ll learn:

• The definition and characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder
• The social, emotional, motor, cognitive, sensory and communication needs of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Strategies to address the needs of children and adolescents with ASD and develop their skills at home, childcare, school, employment and in the community

Come along to this practical and interactive workshop that provides an expert blend of information, skills and strategies that will educate, empower and enable you to be the CHANGE in the lives of the people you support. 

This course is accredited by the Teacher Quality Institute of ACT.
