This qualification is designed for learners who wish to develop an understanding of autism and how to support individuals with

autism.

This qualification aims to:

• develop learners’ understanding of autism and the principles of supporting individuals with autism – covering the person-centred approach and influence of positive communication methods

• how to enable individuals to manage their own risks with the support of professionals

• how to support positive behaviour and how individuals with autism can be supported to live healthy and fulfilled lives.

Throughout this qualification specification, as in the Department of Health Adult Autism Strategy, we’ve used the term ‘autism’ as an umbrella term for all autistic spectrum conditions, including Asperger syndrome.
