Supporting Autistic Learners
This training session is designed to build understanding of how autistic children may perceive, process, and engage with the world around them.
It acknowledges the strengths many autistic children may have in visual processing and explores how the use of visuals can support learning, reduce anxiety, and promote inclusion across a range of environments.
Participants will gain insight into:
- The value of visual teaching approaches and how they can align with an individual child’s natural learning preferences.
- How visual supports can enhance communication, learning and wellbeing across home, school, and community settings.
- The integration of visual supports with other approaches to create consistent and supportive environments.
- A range of adaptable visual approaches that respects each child’s unique strengths, needs, and interests.
