Autism Spectrum Disorder (AUTISMmas)


Description
[This course will take you about 1 hour 45 minutes to complete.]

This course looks at how you, as a carer, can best support an autistic child or young person. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition that affects people in different ways, and the level of support required can range from minimal to high. Autistic people process things in different ways, so you may need to make adaptations in your and the child's life in order to make things easier.

In this course you will learn:
- What ASD is, and the different levels of autism within the spectrum.
- What the signs are, and how you might spot them.
- What behaviours you might expect to see, and potential difficulties a child might have.
- What you can do to manage the condition and help your foster child.
- What support is available for both the child and yourself.
