Thus, they will have the opportunity to realize solution-oriented arrangements by being aware of sensory problems, incorrect environmental arrangements at home and school, and faulty education-teaching practices.
The sudden changes in the COVID-19 era have created great challenges, especially for children with autism, who need a longer adaptation period. They faced additional difficulties in understanding the new situation and creating new routines. Through this course, participants will learn how to provide appropriate support to individuals with autism.

Methodologies Of The Course
The course methodology will ensure the active involvement of the participants in all phases, that is, prior, during, and after the delivery of the course. More specifically, upon confirmation that the course will take place, the participants will receive preparatory material (if needed), which will cover all important concepts to be presented during the delivery of the course. The participants will have the opportunity to exchange feedback with the organiser of the course, AraxaEdu, and the trainer, as well as to request any clarification related to the content of the course.
The methodology of the training is based on a combination of three important elements:
Ice-breaking and Warm-Up Sessions
Provision of knowledge required (theory)
Use of training tools, such as case studies, videos, pictures, animations & exercises (practice—hands-on experience about sensory problems, classroom arrangements, communication skills, etc…)
Feedback/reflection (review)
During the delivery of the course, the participants will receive hard copy material, which will cover the content to be presented in all five (5) days of the seminar. The material will be presented in the form of PowerPoint (PPT) presentations, videos, & animations. Moreover, the active involvement and hands-on experience of the participants will be secured through various training tools, such as case studies, worksheets, scenarios, & exercises. These training tools are necessary to ensure that the theoretical knowledge gained by the participants can be used in real-life scenarios; an important aspect & added value for any training course.
On the final day of the course, the participants will have the opportunity to reflect on the information received and the experience gained in the specific field of study.
