‘Challenging Behaviours’ in Early Years Settings

This session will explore how a more contemporary understanding of the learning styles and presentation of young autistic children can have a positive impact within Early Years settings. The session will acknowledge and address the pressures, or ‘challenging behaviours’, that may be encountered in meeting the needs of both autistic and non-autistic individuals in shared environments.
