What does the course cover?
The Advanced Online Course builds on the Foundations Online course. It takes the understanding of profound autism into everyday situations: sensory processing, load, communication, anticipation, recognising somatic causes, preventing crises and building an individual profile.
The Advanced course includes the Foundations Online Course, so you do not need to buy the introductory course separately. It also includes concrete materials that help you move from understanding into practical documentation and everyday work.
The key themes include:
-
Communication: finding a shared way of understanding in situations where words are not enough
-
Structure: creating predictability as a source of safety in everyday life
-
Adjusting the environment: reducing sensory overload in practical ways
-
Recognizing overload: noticing the signs before exhaustion or escalation
-
Restoring connection: rebuilding a sense of safety after conflict or overload
-
Empowering interaction: the small but meaningful moments that shape everyday life
