Overview

This extensive online course covers the spectrum, traits, and most recent findings in the field of autism to provide students a thorough grasp of the illness. Students will study the neurological and developmental components of autism, communication and support strategies, and the significance of inclusive practices through interactive modules and content. Autism Spectrum issues, consisting of Asperger Syndrome, may also affect as many as 1% of the population. People with such conditions are more often left undiagnosed and spent much of their formative and educational life being bullied and misunderstood, regularly underachieving despite the fact that their actual intelligence and IQ ranges can be significantly more than usual.

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.
