About Course
This 5-hour training course is designed for secondary school teachers and educational staff. It helps understand the cognitive and sensory functioning of autistic students, identify their specific needs in the school environment, and implement concrete pedagogical and environmental adaptations. The training also explores inclusive education support systems (specialized inclusion classrooms, special education support services, and learning support assistants), crisis management strategies, and collaboration with families and multidisciplinary teams. By the end of the course, each participant will be better prepared to welcome an autistic student in their classroom and promote their success without waiting for a formal diagnosis.
