Learning Act: An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Skills Training Manual: An Acceptance & Commitment Therapy Skills-Training Manual for Therapists

Product Information

Some children and young people who need significant additional support from school as well as other agencies will have a co-ordinated support plan (CSP). If a child has a CSP, the local authority will appoint a co-ordinator who is responsible for ensuring that the correct additional support is being provided. We are also looking at ways of adapting physical spaces and ways of working to better support autistic people.

In September 2020, we published our Plan for Jobs to protect, support and create jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will develop and test an autism public understanding and acceptance initiative, working with autistic people, their families and the voluntary sector. We want to reduce the health and care inequalities that autistic people face throughout their lives, and to show that autistic people are living healthier and longer lives. To enable those who need more intensive support to get into work, we will continue to ensure that the Intensive Personalised Employment Support Programme ( IPES) is open to autistic people who qualify.It builds on and replaces the preceding adult autism strategy, Think Autism, which was published in April 2014 and related to adults. You could consider creating safe spaces for children who have similar identities or come from the same community. This will encourage the provision of early support for autistic children and young people, setting out the benefits of this in preventing escalation of needs, sustaining school placements and ensuring more autistic children and young people can achieve their potential. We want many more businesses, public sector services and different parts of the transport system to become more autism-inclusive, so that autistic people can access these spaces and services, just like everyone else. Our commercially-relevant treasury, cash and liquidity qualifications, virtual training and eLearning focus on making you employable and giving you practical skills that you can apply immediately in the workplace.

This is our vision to make life fundamentally better for autistic people, their families and carers by 2026 and we are determined to make it happen. Many autistic people also struggle with unanticipated changes to their journeys, including cancellations and delays. We want more teachers and educational staff to understand the specific needs of their autistic pupils, ensuring that more school placements can be sustained. People on the scheme have a dedicated key worker to help them overcome barriers that may be preventing them from entering work, and participants receive up to 15 months of flexible pre-employment support. This course contains video media files and requires your Windows 7 machine to have up-to-date codecs installed.In addition, we are ensuring that organisations in arts, heritage and culture increase participation and take steps to make their environments more accessible, including for autistic people. Scottish Government (2017) Supporting children’s learning: statutory guidance on the Education (Additional Support for Learning) Scotland Act 2004 (as amended): code of practice (PDF). This sets out local authorities’ and NHS organisations’ duties to support autistic adults and remains in force, which means that local systems should continue to deliver on existing requirements, including having active Autism Partnership Boards in local areas. It's also important to let parents and carers know what children are being taught so that messages can be mirrored at home (Franklin, Toft and Goff, 2019). We want more employers to be confident in hiring and supporting autistic people, and to improve autistic people’s experiences of being in work.

We will be putting forward proposals to improve the system in the SEND review, which we will publish as soon as possible.The ALNCo is also responsible for ensuring all children and young people with ALN have an individual development plan (IDP) or individual education plan (IEP) which sets out the additional learning provision and support they will receive (Welsh Government 2021; 2013). A YouGov poll by the National Autistic Society in 2019 has shown improvements in employer awareness of autism, as well as confidence in recruiting autistic people (The Autism Act, 10 Years On, 2019). As part of this, in December 2020, we launched our disability equality training for transport operators, which is vital in enabling them to understand the types of adjustments people might need.
