About this Course

Come and be part of an engaging and practical Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) training series designed specifically for educators. This series includes three online sessions followed by one hands-on, face-to-face session, offering a balanced approach between theory and practice.

Each session will unpack key aspects of ASD, giving you a deeper understanding of how learners on the autism spectrum experience the world, communicate, and engage within the classroom. You will gain valuable insights and practical strategies to better support their learning, behaviour, and social development.

The final in-person session provides a hands-on opportunity to apply what you have learned, equipping you with the confidence and tools to create structured, supportive, and inclusive learning environments.

Don’t miss this opportunity to grow your knowledge and enhance your teaching practice, while making a meaningful difference in the lives of learners with ASD
