An Online Attention Autism training programme Level 1
7.5 hours of live training with Lorraine Scott, Specialist Teacher and Co-Owner and another Advanced Practitioner.

In this series of six workshops and individual feedback and coaching, we will cover all 4 stages of the Attention Autism Programme, discuss the ideas behind it and use real-life examples to show exactly how and why it works.

You will learn how to connect, get focused attention, keep it, share it and use it to develop communication. This is supported through the individual coaching and feedback we provide based on the films that we invite you to submit as part of the course.

In this course we will cover the following
• Understanding the ideas that drive the Attention Autism programme
• Getting the child’s attention, keeping it and sharing it
• Building, understanding and confidence in getting the message
• Developing communication and spontaneous expression
• Individualising sessions for each child and including the curriculum
• Creating activities that are worth communicating about and inspire learning
• Creating sessions that everyone enjoys and remembers

How it works
The training is spread over 6 live, 75 minute sessions with Lorraine Scott and another Advanced Practitioner, so you can get the programme into action between workshops. We will cover all 4 stages of the Attention Autism programme, illustrated with supporting videos and live activity demonstrations.

As part of the training course we ask you to send us videos as you try the stages of the programme so we can coach you individually and give feedback. In this way we are looking to support you as individuals as you apply the programme with the children.

The course structure
The course will consist of 6 sessions, spread over a few weeks and the submission of 2 films.
