Who is this module for?
This module is aimed at all education professionals working in the Early Years, which includes childminders, preschools, nurseries and school reception classes.
Description
This module focuses on the importance of getting to know a child and how their autism affects them.
We look at examples of distressed behaviours and how these can be supported through a range of strategies, approaches, and reasonable adjustments. The module also guides you through how to gather information about an autistic child’s interests, aspirations, strengths and differences and how this information can be used when developing a Child-Centred Education Plan (CCEP).
The module introduces the AET Early Years Competency Framework so that you can develop and evaluate their good autism practice following completion of the module.

In order to produce the best quality training, please help by agreeing to: ·
Name your device before entering training, in order that we can verify who you are. For security reasons, you will not be admitted from the virtual waiting room if your device is not named or is simply called iPhone or iPad, for instance. ·
Test your equipment prior to the training session · Join the session 5-10 minutes before the start time and you will be admitted to the waiting room. · Switch your video on to facilitate a visual and ‘connected’ session. ·
Please note that our administrators may mute attendees’ microphones at times during the session to minimise background noise and feedback to aid clarity for all of the participants. ·
Please interact in the session when invited to comment or ask questions. · Depending on the training there maybe breakout sessions, where you will be invited to join a smaller group to discuss and share thoughts, to be reported back to the whole group. · Content shared within the training must not recorded. · Content must not reproduced without prior explicit permission from the presenters.
