Supporting Autistic and Neurodiverse Children and Young People

Organized by Social Care Skills (SAA Trusted Partner)

Autistic and neurodiverse children and young people bring unique strengths, perspectives, and ways of experiencing the world. However, they may also encounter barriers within education, social care, healthcare, and wider society that can impact their wellbeing, relationships, opportunities, and outcomes. Professionals play a vital role in creating environments that recognise and respond to individual needs while promoting inclusion, participation, and positive development.

Course Highlights

  • This course explores the principles of neurodiversity and examines how autistic and neurodiverse children and young people may experience the world differently. Participants will develop a greater understanding of autism and other forms of neurodiversity, considering how differences in communication, sensory processing, emotional regulation, social interaction, executive functioning, and information processing can influence everyday experiences.
  • The seminar examines how environments, relationships, routines, expectations, and communication styles can either support or create barriers for autistic and neurodiverse children and young people. Participants will explore practical strategies for creating more inclusive and accessible environments that promote safety, participation, independence, and wellbeing. Particular attention will be given to understanding sensory needs, recognising signs of distress, and responding in ways that reduce anxiety and support regulation.
