Free Online Course - Autism Awareness for Early Childhood Professionals

Autism Awareness Australia (AAA) and the ECEC Professional Learning program have launched a short, online, fee-free microskill course designed to give NSW early childhood professionals the tools they need to better support autistic children in their service.

The course includes five concise, interactive modules, and equips ECEC professionals to:

• Recognise early signs of autism in babies, toddlers and preschoolers
• Understand how autism can present differently in boys and girls
• Dispel common myths that continue to harm practice and children alike
• Learn practical strategies to support children’s sensory, emotional and communication needs, and
• Access downloadable resources to support inclusive programming.

The microskill, Autism Awareness for Early Childhood Professionals, which can be completed in as little as two hours, is delivered as part of the Early Childhood Education and Care Professional Learning Program, a partnership between the NSW Department of Education and TAFE NSW.

Through the program, ECEC professionals will have the opportunity to strengthen their knowledge, uplift their skills and grow their careers with access to fee-free*, targeted online professional learning and leadership development programs.
