Description – Autism Awareness for Community Workers
Community workers often serve as the first point of contact for individuals and families affected by Autism. Having strong knowledge and practical tools is essential to provide meaningful support. Autism can impact communication, behaviour, social interaction, and independence, while ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Child Counselling, and Mental Health needs frequently overlap.
This course explores Autism from a practical, community-focused perspective. It equips learners to identify signs, adapt communication, and provide support that fosters independence and inclusion.
Key learning areas include:
- Understanding Autism in community settings: Recognizing signs, traits, and daily challenges.
- Autism and ADHD: How co-occurrence affects behaviour and support needs.
- Autism and Learning Disabilities: Tailoring approaches to meet diverse educational and developmental needs.
- Child Counselling strategies: How counselling techniques support children and families navigating Autism.
- Mental Health awareness: Addressing anxiety, depression, and emotional wellbeing for individuals with Autism.
- Practical community approaches: Creating inclusive spaces, promoting accessibility, and reducing stigma.
The training focuses on real-world strategies that community workers can apply immediately. From supporting parents and families to guiding individuals with Autism in education, employment, and daily life, learners will finish the course ready to make a tangible difference.
Because it is self-paced and low commitment, participants can complete the course alongside their existing responsibilities. But remember: this is a limited-time course offering—once enrollment closes, it will not return.
