Autism and Developmental Needs

Overview

Understanding the developmental needs of individuals with Autism is crucial in fostering growth, inclusion, and lifelong potential. The Autism and Developmental Needs course is your gateway to learning how developmental milestones intersect with neurodiversity, Mental Health, and Child Counselling practices.

This is a CPD Accredited course designed to bring clarity to complex behavioural and developmental challenges. Best of all? It’s low commitment, flexible, and only available for a limited time. Once this training expires, it will not be offered again—don’t miss the opportunity to deepen your understanding of Autism and its developmental dimensions.

Description

Developmental needs are as unique as fingerprints—and even more so in the context of Autism. This CPD Accredited training unpacks how cognitive, emotional, and social development differs in neurodiverse individuals. You’ll explore how Mental Health conditions often co-occur with Autism, and how that impacts overall developmental growth.

The course takes a person-centred approach, drawing on principles from Child Counselling, trauma-informed practice, and inclusive developmental psychology. You'll learn how sensory integration, emotional regulation, communication, and motor skills can develop differently—and how to support each one compassionately.

Whether you're supporting a toddler just starting to show signs of Autism, a teenager navigating puberty with neurodiversity needs, or an adult building independent skills, this course provides tools to meet them where they are. Practical strategies, checklists, and frameworks make this CPD Accredited course immediately applicable to real-world settings.

But this is more than a course—it's an opportunity to be part of a movement that understands Autism not as a deficit, but as a difference. Enroll now. Once enrollment closes, this Autism and Developmental Needs course is gone.
