The training will also guide you in identifying when a child’s repeated phrases or “scripts” are meaningful attempts at communication, rather than just repetition. You’ll gain insight into the communicative purpose behind echolalia, and how to respond in ways that validate the child’s message.
Finally, the session provides practical strategies for supporting children at different stages of GLP.
You’ll learn about a range of communication methods beyond speech, such as gestures, facial expressions, body language, signs, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). The training explains how these approaches can give your child a voice, reduce frustration, and support their overall development. We’ll also look at the differences in how children’s communication and language develops, so you can better recognise and celebrate your child’s unique progress.
This bite-size, on-demand training introduces the key principles of Neurodiversity Affirming Practice and what it means to truly value and support neurodivergent individuals. Whether at home, in education, at work, or in the wider community, you’ll learn why shifting away from a “deficit” model towards a strengths-based approach makes such a difference. We’ll explore what neurodiversity means in everyday life and how small changes in attitude and practice can have a big impact.
The training highlights common experiences of neurodivergent people and helps you reflect on the environments and expectations that may create barriers. It also addresses the importance of intersectionality, recognising that neurodivergent individuals may experience overlapping identities and challenges related to race, gender, culture, or disability. You’ll gain practical ideas on how to reduce barriers and create spaces that are inclusive, respectful, and supportive for everyone.
