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