Autism and Reframing Behaviour
This training will introduce participants to the ongoing paradigm shift in understanding behaviour from a physiological perspective, drawing on research from neuroscience, psychology, and interpersonal neurobiology.

It will encourage participants to pause and reflect on their current beliefs and reactions to the behavioural differences presenting within their autistic students.

Participants will be supported to consider behavioural differences that are authentic to the autistic student and their invaluable role in maintaining joy in their lives.

Furthermore, participants will be supported to understand the underlying factors contributing to distressed behaviours, and how supporting professionals can help.

Specific topics will include:

  • Understanding the ongoing paradigm shift in how we think about behaviour.
  • Factors that contribute to distressed behaviour for an autistic student.
  • Recognising the significance of neuroception and a sense of "felt safety" in promoting emotional regulation.

Participants will:

  • Gain an understanding of the ongoing paradigm shift in how we think about "behaviour" presenting in our autistic children.
  • To support participants to recognise their inner biases, judgements and beliefs that may be impacting upon how they support an autistic children in distress.
