Is this course for me?
Autism is a condition which presents itself as a wide spectrum of disorders, and is prevalent through the UK. People who have autistic spectrum disorders can be affected differently, with cases ranging from mild to severe. Throughout this qualification, you will gain an understanding of the spectrum of autistic disorders and how they can affect people in a variety of ways, as well as exploring the importance of using a person-centred approach to provide support. You will also understand how to use appropriate communication skills and positive behaviour to encourage individuals with autistic spectrum conditions to live fulfilling and independent lives.
This course is suitable for those who wish to develop their understanding of autism and the principles of supporting individuals to live healthy and fulfilled lives. The course will benefit those who work, or want to work, with people who have an autistic spectrum condition.
