in the way the world views characteristics of autism or how others’ behaviour
or the environment affects people with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Learning Disability Wales are offering a one day course, Positive Ways of Changing
Behaviour which will help you understand the reasons for what is seen as
difficult or challenging behaviours of people with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
and how you can work in a positive way to help change these behaviours.
