Autism Diploma Course

Description

Autism is part of everyday life for many people. However, many still do not understand it well. Learning about autism helps people feel supported and respected. Our diploma in autism explains autism clearly and simply. You will learn about communication, behaviour, sensory needs, and autism awareness.
