Behavioral Sensory Psycho-motor Skills In Autism

Course description

Autism, a psychiatric disease, is a neurological disorder that literally means to be locked inside. It is usually manifested until the age of 30 months of life, but also later. Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique strengths and differences.
There has been a constant increase in autism, and the very definition of autism has been applied to conditions that are not autism. However, there is not only one autism. Manifestation of symptoms depends on the autistic disorder of which the child is suffering.
For now, it is not possible to cure autism, but there is always something we can do. Due to numerous therapeutic methods, we can put it under control. This course offers various methods through which we can handle the autism. For example, aggression and self-aggression are a relatively common type of behavior of autistic children and probably are biologically conditioned. The participants will get insight into the world of an autistic child, and practice empathy and methods of dealing with the children in need.
