This course will provide staff with ways to analyse behaviour in children with an ASD, taking into account their specific learning and processing styles. This will lead to discussing practical strategies to manage behaviour in school, including designing behaviour plans and links to school behaviour policies.

It is recommended that LSA’s attend together with the school SENCO, so that strategies can be integrated within school-based behaviour policies and plans. The course will NOT cover handling and restraint management techniques.

Pupils will:

• have effective behaviour plans in place to support their learning in school

Staff will:

• be equipped to understand and manage behaviour for children with an ASD

Settings will:
