Level: Beginner to Advanced

For: Parents, caregivers, family members, professionals, autistic youths and adults

This in-person course, presented by ACT in partnership with Studio 3 Canada, is crafted to underscore practical, non-confrontational methods for both preventing and aiding individuals at risk of or encountering significant distress while displaying behaviours that may be challenging to support. Attendees will delve into an array of topics including an Introduction to Low Arousal Approaches, encompassing interaction, defusing, and distraction strategies, alongside an exploration of Debriefing: its necessity and techniques. Legal considerations and policy roles will be explained. Participants will gain insights into carers’ tolerance levels and responses to distressed behaviour, understanding the causes behind such behaviour, while acquiring strategies for effectively supporting and managing behaviours of distress.
