Level 3 Understanding Autism

Why Study This Course?

Statistics show that 700,000 people in the UK are known to be on the autism spectrum – approximately 1 in 100. With this figure likely to be even higher given how many may yet be undiagnosed, it is vital that knowledge and understanding of autism is increased. This course will equip learners with a detailed understanding of autism, including the different types of autism, the triad of impairments, related conditions such as Sensory Processing Disorder, legislation and guidance relating to autism, and best practice for autism.

This qualification is aimed at anyone who wishes to develop greater knowledge of autism, including the signs and indicators of autism, the legislation, support and guidance available for individuals with autism, and the ways autism affects different aspects of an individuals life. Individuals will also learn about best practice when interacting with individuals with autism, including managing their sensory needs and behaviour.
