Description

This course is designed for both professionals and parents looking to better understand and support people on the spectrum. Whether you're a teacher, health professional, social worker, or just someone who wants to lend a hand to someone struggling, this course will give you the knowledge and tools you need to do so.

We talk about autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is a developmental disorder that affects how a person’s brain functions. It is common for people with ASD to have learning difficulties related to autism, and it is important to learn about them. Learning difficulties associated with ASD are different from other kinds of learning difficulties. ASD individuals are often hypersensitive to sound, light, and touch and may also have unusual reactions to certain smells and tastes. ASD individuals may also exhibit unusual behaviours, such as repetitive movements and unusual speech patterns. These behaviours may make it difficult for people with ASD to connect with others and get their needed support.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
