This course identifies and provides strategies for teaching the crucial concepts that children need to learn in the early stages of reading, from directionality through to working on unknown words in context. 

It identifies the three main sources of information that good readers use to read: Meaning, Language Structure and Phonics, and provides training on how to support these three areas in simple, practical ways. 

Participants will be taught how to take a Running Record. This is a simple assessment that can be taken on any text. They are a quick and efficient way of gathering information about a child’s reading and is particularly useful for children who struggle with reading, providing valuable information about the strategies a child uses/ignores. Once gaps have been identified they can be addressed in order to support the child’s reading development.

This course provides an overview of autism in relation to girls. It looks at the diagnostic methods and explores why ASD has often been thought of as a more 'male' condition. 

We look at recent developments in our understanding of how autism presents in girls, addressing special interests, behaviour, social skills, masking/camouflaging and mental health. 

Examining how common autism is in girls, why it often goes undiagnosed until later in life, and why other diagnoses may be given instead. We will also explore those areas where autism can pose challenges for girls and the adults around them, and discuss strategies and techniques to support. 

Booking is via RBG Services to School. Click here.

This course is designed to offer participants an understanding of factors underpinning EBSA together with why autistic children and young people who experience EBSA might be at particular risk. It has been developed by members of the ASD Outreach and Educational Psychology Services and includes the sharing of theoretical information together with discussion and hands-on activities. The course will explore evidence-based approaches and interventions in relation to EBSA and how these can be used with a range of children and young people, including those who are autistic. In addition to sharing school-based strategies, an aim of the course is to equip participants with an understanding of how authentic, impactful home-school collaborations can be developed and how these can represent the platform for effective intervention. 

Those who have participated in the course found the following particularly helpful:

• Thinking about the wider context of EBSA and why autistic pupils might be at more risk

• Listening to professionals who have knowledge and experience of supporting pupils experiencing EBSA

• Understanding risk and resilience factors around EBSA

• The focus on transition points and how best to support pupils at these times

This course will provide staff with ways to analyse behaviour in children with an ASD, taking into account their specific learning and processing styles. This will lead to discussing practical strategies to manage behaviour in school, including designing behaviour plans and links to school behaviour policies.

It is recommended that LSA’s attend together with the school SENCO, so that strategies can be integrated within school-based behaviour policies and plans. The course will NOT cover handling and restraint management techniques.
