Understanding sensory sensitivities in autistic children
- This event has passed.
Free/Voluntary Contributions
Delivered via Zoom Webinar
In this practical workshop session we will explore ways of including people who have been labelled as being on the autism spectrum. The session will be values based and practical and will aim to allow the sharing of experiences and good practice as well promoting innovative approaches to inclusion through the design of best practice.
Family perspectives and experiences will also be explored. This is not a ‘medical model’ day on autism. Our motto for the day is ‘People do things for a Reason (and the reason isn’t autism).’ We make full use of first hand accounts of the experience of autism – the autobiographies – to deepen participants’ understanding of what it means to be labelled ‘autistic’
The course answers the questions :
•What is autism?
•How do we go about including people with autism?
•What does autism have to do with me?
