Creating Structured Environments
Creating Structured environments will cover two key areas; the physical classroom environment and using visuals within the classroom. We will develop key principles of creating autism friendly environments and how visuals are used to support transitions, learning and understanding.
Using Visual Communication
Using Visual Communication will help participants to understand how they can use pictures or symbols to support learners to express themselves. The course will provide staff with an understanding of how to implement and use visual communication strategies with pupils.
Developing Social Skills Through Stories
An introduction to writing visual stories which help to reduce anxiety and prepare children and young people with autism for a range of different social situations, transitions or significant events and changes.
Understanding Sensory Needs
Understanding Sensory Needs will discuss the sensory processing differences people with autism experience and discuss practical adaptations and strategies which can be used to support individuals to manage their individual sensory profiles.
Engagement in Learning
Pupils with autism can at times be difficult to engage in learning activities, especially in group activities. The Engagement in Learning course offers fun and exciting activity ideas which may help pupils to focus and attend to group sessions to help gain their attention and sustain their focus for longer periods of time.
