The focus of this course is in understanding the learning style, strengths, interests and needs of the autistic child and how these can be facilitated using visuals.

  • Understand how the use of visuals can support the thinking and learning style of autistic child
  • Understand how the use of visuals can be generalised across all environments and can build on the learning experience in school, home, and the wider community
  • Learn how to develop visual supports in a practical manner to maximise the child's strengths and provide support if necessary.
  • How to develop visuals and implement supportive visual practice
