Course: Foundations of Successful Communication Skills

(Focus: EIP/PRI/SEC/SPED)

If you are interested in optimising the communication skills programme for your child/student with autism, this may be right course for you.

Individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder or autism have to work hard to continuously engage in different forms of communication. Each individual with autism is different; and as such will require different levels of support. Understanding ‘What to teach’ and ‘How to teach’ communication to these individuals can seem like an overwhelming task.
