Autism Awareness
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that
affects how a person communicates with and
relates to other people around them. According to

700,000 people in the United Kingdom, which
equates to 1 in 100 of the population and the
number of children being diagnosed with the
condition is continuing to increase.
This course will provide you with an understanding of what autism is
and how it affects a child's daily life. It will touch on what factors
contribute towards a child developing autism as well as some of the
typical behaviours associated with it and how to can provide effective
support for those with the condition. It also discusses what happens
during the diagnosis process, some of the intervention methods that
can help manage the condition and suggests some simple adaptations
you can make to improve a child with autism's day to day life.
