Autism Awareness for Recreation Leaders

This course is designed to provide recreation staff with an overview of autism and an introduction to strategies for supporting individuals with autism in recreation settings. In this highly interactive one-hour module, learners will work through four real life scenarios, watching a series of video interviews with recreation staff who have dealt with similar situations. Learners will become more familiar with the behaviours associated with autism, and walk away with communication tips, teaching and learning strategies and behaviour support approaches. Learners will receive a certificate upon completion of the course.
