About the course
Learn how anxiety impacts on autistic children and the way they behave and learn. In this practical workshop session we will explore ways of including anxious autistic children in mainstream schools and settings. The session will be values based and practical and will aim to allow the sharing of experiences and good practice as well as promoting innovative approaches to inclusion through the design of best practice.
Family perspectives and experiences will also be explored - this is not a ‘medical model’ approach to anxiety.

- Access to a wider range of practical strategies to impact on anxiety
- Deeper understanding of core values surrounding inclusion
- New skills and processes to strengthen the inclusion of anxious children
