Autism Awareness Training for Teachers Course
In the UK, autism affects approximately 1.7% of children. In the USA, the prevalence is even higher, with 1 in 44 children being diagnosed with ASD. These numbers highlight the need for educators to be well-prepared to support autistic students effectively. So, if you are willing to work with these vulnerable groups of children, then our Autism Awareness Training for Teachers would be an excellent one for you.
The Autism Awareness Training for Teachers course starts with giving you insights into developmental disorders, with a focus on ASD, Asperger's, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). You will also become familiar with cognitive development, social impairment, and repetitive behaviours associated with these conditions. Plus, in the Autism Awareness Training for Teachers course, you will learn how to use versatile visual aids like visual schedules, token economies, and social stories, enhancing communication and understanding for autistic students. Meltdown is a common issue among children with autism problems. This Autism Awareness Training for Teachers course will teach you the strategies to handle meltdowns, including dealing with biting, throwing, and screaming behaviours sensitively and constructively. Autistic children often find it hard to learn functional life skills, unlike other children. This autism training course will help you explore vital life skills training, including self-feeding and toilet training. Children love storytelling, and it helps create a great bonding. Our autism training course will give you insights into social stories, understanding their characteristics and types, and a method to create compelling stories to support individuals with ASD.
Without further delay, enrol in the Autism Awareness Training for Teachers course to become a CPD-certified teacher who knows how to handle a group of SEN students in the classroom.
