The course is aimed at the parents* and carers* of children with autism. However, the content, including lots of videos of parents talking about the issues that concern them most, provides fantastic insight for anyone who supports a child with autism.

This course is based on the Understanding section of our licensed course Learning Strategies.

There are many theories of learning. This course looks at the most useful theories, what they have in common and how they can inform classroom practice.

The course is based on the experiences of local authority Information, Advice and Support Services, who work to improve relationships with parents/carers*. It looks at the needs of parents of children with SEN, the issues they face and how they can be supported. It considers how we communicate with, and provide information to, parents in different contexts, and provides a few useful tools to enhance your practice.
