Understanding Anxiety

Description

Course Overview:

This practical workshop is designed to deepen educators' understanding of the impact of anxiety on autistic children, particularly how it influences their behaviour, learning, and overall experience in school. This values-based session aims to provide participants with a range of inclusive strategies grounded in empathy and respect to create supportive learning environments for anxious autistic students in mainstream settings. Unlike a purely medical approach, this workshop prioritises the perspectives of families and real-world experiences, promoting innovative, best-practice techniques for inclusion.

Participants will have opportunities to share personal insights and collaborate on strategies for addressing the sensory, social, and movement-related challenges faced by autistic students. By the end of the course, attendees will gain confidence in supporting anxious children, fostering a classroom culture where every student feels safe, valued, and understood.
