Supporting Children with ASD who are Verbal in the classroom

Supporting Children with ASD who are Verbal in the classroom

This course is for teachers working with children and young people who have social communication needs including Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It is suitable for teachers working in mainstream, special schools and specialist units empowering them to develop the communication skills of children who need help to use their language within a social context. The course provides a great overview into good communication practice with those with ASD and has plenty of ‘hands on’ activities which help to apply the learning and makes the course very interactive. This summer course is designed to:

·         support teachers and principals who work with pupils who are experiencing difficulties in social communication development

·         provide teachers with the knowledge and strategies to develop the social communication skills of all children but especially those with ASD

·         assist teachers to explore the processes of communication and the development of social and communication skills with their pupils within mainstream and special education settings.

·         reflect on and evaluate a range of data collection tools and evidenced based language development strategies in relation to social communication development in the school context.

·         explore a range of ICT to support individuals with Speech and language difficulties in the school setting.
