AET TRAINING EVENTS 2011

Learning to see differently

Effective ‘whole-school’ strategies for pupils on the autism spectrum

The 2011 AET Training Events are now complete. The 2011 events, held in York and London, offered education, health and social care professionals and parents of pupils on the autism spectrum an opportunity to learn new strategies, share good practice and network.

Designed specifically as training days, the event programmes were led by experts in their fields and included a range of presentations, one-to-one advice clinics and an interactive panel discussion. Sessions covered:

• Setting up an autism-friendly classroom
• Developing peer-awareness programmes within education settings
• The effective use of autism specific teaching tools including the AET’s Tools for Teachers
• Successfully managing challenging behaviour
• Understanding the vital milestones in the educational journey of a child with autism. (Interactive panel discussion.)
