Who is this module for?
This module is for childminders and practitioners in a range of Early Years Settings, including preschools, nurseries, children’s centres, and schools.
In this module, we take delegates through some of the distinct learning needs, strengths, and difficulties that autistic children share, whilst helping delegates to take note of individual differences. Participants are given the opportunity to start thinking about a particular autistic child and their learning needs, along with ways in which they can adjust and adapt their own practice and the learning environment.
The aims
The aims of ‘Good autism practice in the Early Years’ are to support practitioners who work directly with autistic children to:
- Develop their knowledge of Good Autism Practice.
- Understand the importance of working with others to support the child.
- Create and deliver a plan to ensure progress.
- Extend their understanding of how they may support a young autistic child to develop and progress.
- Further reflect on reasonable adjustments that can be made to improve their practice in working with autistic children.
Learning objectives
After completing ‘Good autism practice in the Early Years’, delegates will be able to:
- Understand how autism can impact on the learning and wellbeing of an autistic child.
- Understand the importance of involving the “Team around the Child” to support the child’s development.
- Consider how to remove barriers to wellbeing, participation, and learning for autistic children.

Digital Training Information We are doing our best to provide you with the same high standard of training experience that you would expect if you attend our sessions in person. We know that practitioners gain the most from training that is interactive and this can be difficult to replicate online, with issues such as poor or intermittent internet connections. In order to produce the best quality training, please help by agreeing to: ·
Name your device before entering training, in order that we can verify who you are. For security reasons, you will not be admitted from the virtual waiting room if your device is not named or is simply called iPhone or iPad, for instance. ·
Test your equipment prior to the training session · Join the session 5-10 minutes before the start time and you will be admitted to the waiting room. · Switch your video on to facilitate a visual and ‘connected’ session. ·
Please note that our administrators may mute attendees’ microphones at times during the session to minimise background noise and feedback to aid clarity for all of the participants. ·
Please interact in the session when invited to comment or ask questions. · Depending on the training there maybe breakout sessions, where you will be invited to join a smaller group to discuss and share thoughts, to be reported back to the whole group. · Content shared within the training must not recorded. · Content must not reproduced without prior explicit permission from the presenters.
This certificated course will enable participants to identify key areas of differences, know the importance of understanding the strengths and weaknesses of individuals, learn about potential sensory sensitivities and help to build positive relationships within early years settings.
