This course will develop your knowledge and skills in supporting individuals with Autism throughout their education. Torrens uses a ‘person first’ approach to introduce the problem-solving and active listening skills required when supporting an individual with autism. You will interact with a range of experiential perspectives of autism, using interviews and scenarios to develop their understanding of the person first approach.
This course provides an opportunity for those who are interested in identifying methods of improving educational outcomes to develop advanced technical skills and knowledge that can be applied in professional practice. You will explore a range of contemporary innovations while maintaining a clear focus on developing critical capacities to analyse and critique approaches identified by others as innovative.
