This workshop seeks to raise understanding and awareness of autism.
We will discuss diagnostic criteria then go into greater depth about the difficulties faced by children on the autistic spectrum including social communication and social interaction issues, sensory needs, managing change and behaviours of concern.
Strategies we can use to help support children with autism in the school setting will be discussed.
The goal of this workshop is to help those attending to ‘think autism’ and to better understand how differently they see and experience the world around them and how we can help support them in achieving to their full potential in education.
