Facilitating successful transitions in the educational setting

Professional Development In Focus Workshop

According to the diagnostic criteria transitions are an area of difficulty for people on the spectrum. With transitions being a regular part of school life with everything from finishing an activity to moving year level it is crucial that educators have an understanding of the impact of transiting and are equipped with effective strategies to support. This Workshop looks at a range of practical strategies to support the small and big transitions that are part of every school day.

Suitable for professionals supporting individuals of any age.

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).

Professional Workshops are designed for any individuals who support an individual on the autism spectrum on a professional or volunteer basis. The workshops provide examples and strategies that are relevant for professionals.
