Understanding & Supporting Learners who Mask - Woodlands
About
Do you have learners in your setting who appear to be happy and engaged in school, but parents report significant challenges at home?Anxiety is often a huge barrier for autistic learners, leading to them ‘masking’ in many situations. During this session, we will look at how anxiety can present for autistic young people and what we can do to help support them. We will also discuss strategies that can be used to reduce anxiety levels in a mainstream classroom and support learners who may be masking.
We will work through some case study examples in groups and consider which methods of support will have the most impact.
There will also be an opportunity to talk to members of the Outreach Team about specific challenges that you face in your setting.
This training is intended for education professionals working with autistic learners.
