Supporting Autistic Learners

This workshop will assist you to understand, support and engage with learners who are Autistic. Autism is a lifelong developmental condition that affects how people behave and interact with the world around them.

• Become familiar with and use neuro-affirming language, including first language use
• Increase your awareness and gain knowledge of autistic characteristics, and the diversity of presentation in adult learners
• Apply communication techniques and teaching strategies tailored to the strengths and needs of Autistic adult learners
• Develop strategies to create supportive and inclusive learning environments and accommodate the sensory and social needs of Autistic learners.
