With Autism Disorders varying widely in severity and effecting an estimated 700,000 people in the UK, it is vital to understand how best to support those affected (and their loved ones) on an individual basis. In order to take this person-centred approach, communication skills must be highly developed, and an in-depth understanding and knowledge gained of the skills needed to promote positive behaviours, so allowing people living with Autism Disorders to lead fulfilling lives and to have full access to the support available.
