Autism, Understanding Anxiety and Reframing Behaviour, with a focus on Early Years

Autism, Understanding Anxiety and Reframing Behaviour
This training course will help parents and education professionals understand the stresses autistic children experience, particularly within the Early Years environment.  We will discuss the external environmental demands and stress experienced by many autistic children which can contribute to anxiety experiences.

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

Participants will understand:

• The relationship between autism and anxiety, and how anxiety affects our body and mind and thus the impact on the young child’s behaviour.
• Furthermore, participants will be supported to understand the underlying factors contributing to distressed behaviours, and how supporting professionals can help. 
• Participants will be supported to consider behavioural differences that are authentic to the autistic young child and their invaluable role in maintaining joy in their lives. 

During the course, we will explore a range of supports and resources which can be used to support an autistic young child.
