The Supporting autistic children and their families: Short course has been designed for practitioners, families, service providers, educators, peak bodies, and government.

This short course is designed to help your understanding and application of the Guideline's Recommendations and Practice Points.

You will have access to the course for 60 days from enrolment. While individual learning journeys may vary, please allow up to 4 hours to complete all modules. You may need extra time to review the supporting materials and to read the Guideline in full. 

Guideline in Practice case studies 

A core element of the course is the integration of three in-depth Guideline in Practice case studies which all link back to the Guideline Recommendations and important community insights. Learners are provided with opportunities to:

  • identify Guideline Recommendations that are relevant to clinical decision-making within the case studies
  • contrast and make use of information coming from different points of view including those of autistic people, family members, and practitioners
  • relate the information in the Guideline and the case study to your situation (e.g. work, life)
  • develop a plan for how you will apply the Guideline to your situation (e.g. work, life).
