Course Description
The social skills curriculum addresses adult educators and parents of children with ASD. It will contain the information necessary to increase the skills and competences of trainers to educate parents on how to teach their child with ASD important life skills, based on the Teaching Interaction Procedure. It therefore aims at the personal and professional development of educators and parents of children with ASD, taking into consideration:
a) the challenges young children with autism face at home and in the community
b) the life skills young children with autism usually lack (i.e social and communication skills)
c) the absence of comprehensive training curricula that will focus on the professional development of educators to train parents on how to use TIP to teach social skills.
This training curriculum will bridge the gap between theory and praxis, since practically it will introduce educators and parents in the TIP and will familiarise them with the TIPS digital tools.
