    More about the course

    Autism is described by The National Autistic Society as a complex, lifelong developmental disability that typically appears during early childhood and can impact a person's social skills, communication, relationships, and self-regulation.

    This Level 3 Understanding Autism course is designed to help you build comprehensive knowledge about autism and how to effectively support individuals on the autism spectrum.

    You’ll learn how to take a positive approach in your interactions, understanding the current laws and the evolution of theories surrounding autism.

    The course also covers how to support individuals through important life transitions, and introduces a range of therapeutic interventions for those with autism and additional conditions.

    You’ll gain skills in improving communication and social interactions, and develop a strong understanding of the role and responsibilities of a support worker, including safeguarding vulnerable individuals according to legal requirements.

    "The best thing about my role is seeing the changes in students. From when they start to the end of each academic year. Their academic progress and development as well as their personal growth. I like that I can inspire confidence and support students becoming the person they want to be."

    Health and Social Care Level 3, plus the Language of Maths, Multiply

    "When I first came to the college to apply to study Health and Social Care, the multiply courses were recommended to me to help with my basic understanding of maths. I’m now doing a level 3 in Health and Social Care as well as functional skills in Maths, and a GCSE in English. I’ve also just been accepted onto a Level 4 in Health and Social Care, so my dream of becoming a social worker is getting closer."
