About

Designed to provide you with a thorough understanding of the autism spectrum, current research, and best practice approaches, the comprehensive Understanding Autism course of the Institute of Child Education and Psychology Europe equips teachers, parents and other practitioners with evidence-based strategies to meet the needs of children and young people with autism.

Overview

About the course

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is an umbrella term used to describe individuals who have very specific difficulties in social skills and with communication and who engage in restrictive or repetitive activities.  ASD describes a spectrum of disorders, including Asperger syndrome and spanning the full range of ability.

International statistics demonstrate a steep rise in the number of individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) since the 1990s. It is now estimated to run to as much as 1% of the population worldwide. This dramatic increase is currently being experienced in our schools, communities and families and demands specialised knowledge, understanding and skills. The Understanding Autism course of the Institute of Child Education and Psychology Europe is designed to respond to this need and provides flexible and accessible training and rapid upskilling for those working with individuals on the autism spectrum.

Programme Structure

  • From the search for an explanation, to diagnosis, assessment, proven interventions and teaching approaches, this course provides a clear route to unravelling the complexity of ASD. Drawing on the most up-to-date neuroscience and research and including the diagnostic implications of the DSM V , it will guide you through constructive, evidence-based and contextually relevant ways to help children and young people with ASD realise their full potential.
  • You will become familiar with current theories and perspectives on ASD and the implications for practice. Early identification, assessment and diagnostic procedures, individual educational planning and early intervention approaches, such as EarlyBird and LEAP, are examined. Models of intervention, such as TEACCH, Pivotal Response Training and FloorTime, are detailed and explained.
