Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects each child differently, making it important for child care professionals to understand the unique strengths, challenges, and needs of children on the spectrum. In this training, participants will explore the characteristics of ASD, learn how autism may impact communication, behavior, social interactions, and sensory processing, and discover practical strategies for creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment. By piecing together the puzzle of autism, caregivers will gain the knowledge and confidence needed to better understand, support, and help children with ASD thrive in the child care setting.
