It focuses on developing a clearer understanding of how autistic people may experience the world, including differences in communication, behaviour and sensory processing.

Learners are encouraged to recognise the value of patience, flexibility and person centred support, helping them respond more appropriately to individual needs. The course also helps challenge common misconceptions, promoting a more accurate and respectful understanding of autism.

Awareness of co occurring conditions and the importance of clear guidance and legislation is also developed, giving learners added confidence in their responsibilities and the standards expected in professional settings.
