This course is also available via face-to-face training

Elklan's accredited course Communication and Language Support for Autistic Pupils provides useful strategies for supporting the development of communication skills for those working with autistic individuals within a social context. The materials and training resources embrace and use neurodiversity-affirming language. The course incorporates consideration of how autistic people may develop language and how any differences in communication can be affirmed. The importance of shifting away from the prescriptive teaching of social skills is recognised. Advice is given to always value the individual's views and needs, e.g. a key message is to explore how the wider school environment may provide opportunities for autistic pupils with shared interests to have opportunities for positive interaction.
