Summary:

This training day is offered to Headteachers, SENCOs, Teachers and Teaching Assistants in the primary sector. Increasing numbers of children are being diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorders or have some characteristics without a formal diagnosis. Most teachers and support staff come into contact with such pupils and will want to feel they have confidence in knowing how best to work with and support them. This course will explore ASD in the classroom (YR - Y6). Effective support for pupils with ASD needs to be comprehensive and well developed, taking into account the individual needs of the pupil.
