This training is aimed at all practitioners working with children with social communication difficulties. You will gain an in-depth knowledge of the different needs of the children and strategies to support them to access all areas of your Early years provision. The aim of Good Autism Practice in the Early Years is to support practitioners who work directly with Neurodivergent children to:

•              Develop knowledge and understanding of good autism practice

•              Reflect on and improve their practice in working with Neurodivergent children

•              Understand strategies and approaches they can draw upon for Neurodivergent children they work with

•              Reflect on the kind of information they need to collect for the one-page profile, the support plan, and the EYFS profile

•              Consider how to involve the Neurodivergent child and their family in setting learning goals

After completing, you will be able to:

•              Develop their knowledge of how the key areas of difference can affect the learning of a Neurodivergent child

•              Consider the approaches, strategies, and adaptations they can implement to remove barriers to wellbeing, participation, and learning for Neurodivergent children

•              Understand the importance of involving the child and family in planning and setting learning goals

•              Reflect on ways of gathering information from the child, parents/carers, and other professionals
