Further Studies in Autism

This module will benefit you and your setting in a wide variety of ways. Over the duration of the course, you will:

• Create real impact in your setting by auditing and adapting the learning environment to support autistic students with sensory processing needs
• Deliver long-lasting and meaningful change by reflecting on how to develop effective support programmes to reduce anxiety and facilitate emotional regulation in autistic students
• Review training needs and establish yourself as a leader by developing a model for good practice across your setting
• Enhance your previous experience by delivering and critically reflecting on interventions you have designed for with students with autism

• Our courses are delivered through Campus Online, our unique provision for online learning.
• Campus Online allows you to study at your own pace, without the need to travel, or commit to particular dates or times. Log in to access your study materials, contact your personal tutor for support, connect and network with other delegates and make use of the extensive resource library.
• You can easily track your progress throughout the course and submit your work and evidence of assignments for feedback.

Your assessments will consist of four assessed tasks:

• Reflective analysis (3,000 words): A case study with reference to the identification, assessment and appropriate interventions for an autistic student with sensory needs.
• A comparative study of two interventions (3,000 words) which draws on theoretical perspectives and research of the effectiveness of mental wellbeing and emotional regulation support for autistic students. 
• A literature review (3,000 words) which draws on theoretical perspectives and research and critically evaluates potential gender differences in autism and identifies implications for practice. 
• A critical reflection (1,500 words plus 1,500 for staff audit tool) on learning over the module with a focus on identifying staff competencies and ways to enhance whole school practice to promote inclusive practice for autistic students.

• It is expected that delegates starting this module will have already completed the Autism Spectrum Conditions module.
• You will need to hold an undergraduate degree.
• You will need to be working in an educational setting for this module. If you aren’t currently working in an educational setting you will need written permission from a senior member of staff to regularly access a setting.
