Venture Further into Autism

Overview

An interactive training day, which through shared experiences offers simple, practical advice and support. 

The day will reveal the bigger picture of Autism, touching on co-occurring conditions such as ADHD and offer ideas and strategies to support and manage behaviour. Nothing suggested on the day is inappropriate or harmful for neuro-typical children, so even if you do not have a young person in your Section with a diagnosis you will find the day useful.

Leaders should bring a packed lunch with them, hot and cold drinks will be provided throughout the day.

All attendees will go away with resources to use back in their Section and a certificate of attendance. 

The day does have an attendance limit, places will be given on a first come first served basis, so book early to avoid disappointment! 

Any queries should be directed to Linda Thelwell via dc@blacktoftbeacon-scouts.org.uk

More details of the course content include:

• Unravelling what is often described as ‘complex’; the social world; Social Communication, Social Interaction, Impulsivity, Inflexibility/ literal understanding are all explored.
• Examining how the makeup and function of the brain results in experiences and behaviours that may appear unusual, inappropriate, confused, non-typical.
• Tools and Strategies to help us understand why a child may be behaving, communicating, responding as they are and what we can do about it.

Strategies and ideas are all entirely appropriate for all young people; many families and practitioners report a surprisingly positive affect on siblings and peers too.
