We examine the history and evolving definitions of Special needs to provide a clear context for modern support strategies. A significant portion of the course is dedicated to Personal development, encouraging learners to refine their observational skills and deepen their empathy for the challenges faced by those with Autism. By identifying the different ways Special needs can impact daily life, you will be better prepared to cultivate inclusive spaces that respect the dignity of every individual. The content is structured to ensure that your Personal development remains a priority, allowing you to reflect on your own perceptions of Autism while building a robust framework for understanding Special needs in the wider community.

As you progress, the course explores the sensory sensitivities often associated with Autism and how these relate to the broader category of Special needs. We look at the Importance of structured environments and clear communication as pillars of effective support for those with Autism.

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.
