Empowering Educators: Teachers Training on Autism Spectrum Disorder

Overview

With evidence indicating the increase in the diagnosis of autism, as well as the complexity of working with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), providing effective education and training programs specializing in ASD has become an educational necessity. This can be a strategy or intervention in teaching children/individual(s) with ASD.

ACNS, outlines the following points in the preparation of teacher from the teachers training program:

1) Training will be eye openers in enhancing understanding the condition of student with Autism.

2) Teachers are committed to student with autism and their learning in the classroom.

3) Teachers know how the student with Autism learn.

4) Teachers make a list of the child's strengths which will help them to teach those subjects to student with Autism

5) Teachers think systematically about their practice and learn from training

With this realization, ACNS has been organizing “Teachers Training on Autism Spectrum Disorder” since 2011 at ACNS. The concept emerged with the strong realization of ACNS on “Education for all” and inclusive education for children with autism. The training is 2 weeks which focus on the different topics such as understanding autism, understanding behaviour and behaviour modification, structure teaching, enhancing communication, acceptance, inclusion, occupational therapy. This course at present has practical sessions and observations too.

ACNS offers a chance to participate in the training twice in a year. ACNS has been running training sessions consistently since 2011 and has now completed 25 batches training 285 teachers from various schools and centers of Nepal.
