Description
Do you want to improve your understanding of autism and learn good practice in autism education?
This 4-week course tackles crucial questions about autism education to ensure that children on the autism spectrum are educated to their greatest potential.
Understanding autism in educationThe course will begin by exploring your understanding of autism, including the signs, symptoms, diagnosis, and potential causes. You’ll explore how special educational needs and disabilities can affect a child’s ability to learn.
Inclusivity in the classroom is extremely important, so you’ll explore how to develop an inclusive curriculum for autistic students.
You’ll also learn about the many modalities of schooling for students with autism, including general special schools, autism-specific special schools, autism units within mainstream schools, and being in a mainstream classroom.
Develop good practices for autistic childrenNext, we’ll investigate more thoroughly what contributes to good practice in autism education, including building upon research-based evidence.
Sharing the best practices can be beneficial to the autism community, so we’ll explore social apps such as SOFA, co-designed by people on the autism spectrum.
You’ll learn how to promote inclusion, cognitive accessibility, wellbeing and academic skills at school, and also understand how life skills can benefit autistic children beyond the classroom.
