Autism Awareness Training – Supporting Children and Adults with Autism

£18.00

This Autism Awareness Training course is designed for care workers and professionals who support individuals with autism. The training provides a clear understanding of what autism is, how it affects individuals, and how to respond with empathy and practical support.

The course offers two learning pathways: Child Development and Autism Awareness or Adult Mental Health and Autism. This flexible approach ensures learners gain knowledge relevant to their role and the people they support. Participants will explore the characteristics of autism, the impact on social interaction and communication, and the sensory difficulties that many autistic individuals experience.

By the end of this Autism Awareness Training, learners will have the confidence to recognise key traits, understand challenges, and provide more effective support in care settings.

Why Autism Awareness Training Matters

Autism affects how people perceive the world and interact with others. Without awareness and understanding, individuals with autism may face unnecessary barriers in education, healthcare, and daily life. With the right training, care workers can improve communication, reduce anxiety, and create supportive environments that respect individual needs.
