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
