Autism Outreach Service – Presentation: Supporting ASD in the Secondary School
This presentation is one that has been delivered to education staff in the past as a twilight workshop, presented by Hayley McFarlane and Laura May, members of the Autism Outreach Team. Under the current circumstances, our team thought it would be useful for staff to have access to it online, to help contribute towards CLPL.
The presentation will briefly discuss the following topics, giving you some simple ideas of how you can support an autistic young person in your class or school :
- Anxiety and ASD
- Sensory Needs
- Transitions
- Emotional Regulation
- Exam Support
- Support in class
- Routine and Structure
