Module 3 – Understanding children with additional needs
Autism is a growing problem in our times, some people have described it as an epidemic. First described almost 80 years ago, now almost 1 in every 100 children are thought to be on the `autism spectrum’. Causes are reported to be diverse, with no clear single cause known.
We meet children on the Autism Spectrum (ASD) and with Hyperactivity Syndrome (ADHD) in every class in our schools, in ever greater numbers and teachers are struggling to cope with these children. One quarter to one third of children in every class have some learning challenges and many of these are children with undiagnosed ASD. Parents are also struggling to meet their needs, therefore understanding and meeting these children is one of the great challenges of our time.
In this course we will look at these conditions from a holistic and Anthroposophic perspective. We will try to understand the condition and needs of these children and how we can meet these needs at school and at home.
Course Delivery:
Lectures and discussions, case study, practical exercises.
Artistic Activities: painting, singing and music.
