Effective strategies to support a person with autism:

Professional Development Workshop

This is a General Workshop for professionals who work with people on the autism spectrum and are keen to learn about a broad range of strategies. It is recommended that participants first attend ‘Understanding autism’ to get the most out of this session, unless they have a prior sound knowledge of autism.

This workshop helps participants to learn how to use a range of social, communication, behavioural and sensory strategies to support individuals on the spectrum. Strategies are practical, relevant and evidence based.

Suitable for professionals supporting ages 4 to 18 years.

All participants will receive a certificate with the workshop title, the number of hours and will state that the training links to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (where appropriate).
