Supporting Children with ASD

Facilitated by Emily McKenna

“Inclusion enables access, engagement and success for all learners” (Ashmin & Elkins, 2009) and  underpins all of the quality areas, with the words “each child” being used intentionally throughout the NQS, 18 times to be exact!

Autism is part of the natural spectrum of neurological diversity and just one such example of the diversity we are likely to encounter in our day to day work with children & families. Individuals with autism speak to the way it impacts how they experience the world around them, with each individual having their own unique experiences.

This webinar is for anyone interested in learning more about individuals on the autism spectrum and inclusive strategies that they can employ in OSHC environments.

This webinar will discuss:

• Understanding the Autism Spectrum
• The importance of understanding each      individual to promote engagement and participation
• Practical & Inclusive “OSHC” strategies to      support children on the Autism Spectrum.
