Autism and behaviour: analysing and managing
This course will provide staff with ways to analyse behaviour in autistic children, 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 LSAs attend together with the school SENCO, so that strategies can be integrated within school-based behaviour policies and plans.
The course will NOT cover positive 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 autistic children.
Settings will:
  • have a consistent evidence-based approach to analysing and managing behaviour for autistic children in their school
Staff supporting autistic children in school settings, to include LSAs, SENCOs, and Teachers
