Understanding autism and introduction
to the SPELL framework
20 May, Barnsley • 17 June, London
This course will provide an overview of the autism spectrum, aiming to support delegates with recognising and understanding the key areas of difficulty experienced by people with autism. The focus will then be on providing effective support for individuals with autism, based on The National Autistic Society's SPELL framework. SPELL is a framework for understanding and responding to the needs of children and adults on the autism spectrum developed through evidence based practice, useful in identifying underlying issues, reducing the disabling effects of the condition and providing a cornerstone for communication.
