Behavioural Support Part 2: A follow up to using Behaviour support – Advanced techniques

Transitioning from Home to Primary School
Exploring a combination of social and sensory experiences that may assist the child in being able to deal with challenges of this transition.

We will also look at some of the heightened distress than can become associated with these transitions and learn how to reduce that level of distress.
Working therapeutically while learning to Navigate the Autistic Sensory System
Learn some of the complex sensory difficulties that many autistic individuals experience, and how you may be of some support to alleviate some of that sensory pain. This introduces how the 5-sense perception, vestibular and proprioceptive sensory systems communicate across many other systems within the body inclusive of interoceptive experiences. We learn how a trauma informed awareness can help us understand the bunce sensory profile that some autistic individuals live with on a daily basis.
Listening behind the Anger – Learning how to see past frustration
Learn how to support your autistic child/young person or adult while coping with their anger and distressed behaviour.
Working Therapeutically while learning to Navigate the Autistic Sensory System

This is a general workshop combining all elements of all trainings available when working with an autistic client and how you may become more able to meet the individual and where they are in connecting into their world.
Understanding Theories of Autism
This workshop explores the various theories combing neuroscience and most up to date research so that the therapist has a full understanding how to modify their therapeutic approach to fit the client’s needs while adhering to best practice principles.
