This one-day course is for those wishing to increase their knowledge or practice relating to autism. Some autism knowledge is required for this course.
You will use the SPELL framework as part of this training to reflect on your practice and plan how you will use the knowledge gained to influence the support you provide to people with autism. SPELL is a framework for understanding and responding to the needs of children and adults on the autism spectrum, developed through evidence-based practice.
