Social Communication
Social communication is a core difficulty for children with autism. Whether children have speech and language skills or are preverbal they can be taught to be more effective communicators. Communication is at the heart of what happens at home, in school, and in the wider community which means that communication skills are essential for learning, as well as social and emotional development. This training will focus on strategies to facilitate learning and to develop social communication skills for both the pre-verbal and verbal child.
This training event is for parents and carers of children aged three to six.
