This introductory workshop is open to anyone who wants to enhance their knowledge and understanding of autism. You will learn how to better understand and support people in your life who are on the autism spectrum.
Through this workshop you can explore what autism is, better understand the concepts of neurodiversity and what it means to be on the autism spectrum, as well as addressing some common misconceptions.
You’ll learn that autistic individuals share common areas of difference and will also have their own profile of strengths and challenges.
This workshop is a great overview introducing autism. You will be able to learn more in subsequent courses to develop your knowledge.
There is no formal assessment for this workshop. You will receive regular feedback from your tutor.
At the end of this workshop, if you’d like to continue with your learning in this subject, you’ll be able to progress onto our Starter Level workshop or course. Find out more about our Starter Level course ‘Understanding Autism’ on the SS&L website.
