Schools Making Sense of Autism

What is it?

This module is an awareness-raising module for all staff in a school community,
whether they be teachers, learning support staff, school meals supervisors, or
transport staff.
The module provides an introduction to autism and the reasonable adjustments
that need to be considered when working with autistic pupils.

Aims of the Training

  • To extend your understanding of how autism affects pupils in school.
  • To increase your expertise in recognising a pupil’s individual strengths and
    differences.
  • To develop your skills in identifying barriers to learning for autistic pupils.
  • To develop your understanding of what ‘reasonable adjustments’ need to be
    made to support an autistic pupil in your setting.

Learning Objectives

  • Approach autism as a difference rather than a deficit or disorder.
  • Recognise the three areas of difference for autistic pupils and how these can
    affect them.
  • Listen to and learn from the perspectives of autistic pupils and their
    parents/carers.
  • Reflect on your practice and implement reasonable adjustments to support
    autistic pupils.
