Develop the specialist knowledge required to support those with autistic spectrum conditions.

Working with individuals who have autistic spectrum conditions is perhaps on the more difficult and demanding roles in the care sector. It requires dedicated individuals with the specialist knowledge required to provide the care and support the condition requires.

Over the last 10 years, Highfield has established itself as one of the leading organisations for the development of qualifications in the care sector, thanks to our partnerships with some of the leading care agencies and experience of working with respected experts from within the industry.

The Highfield Level 2 Certificate in Introduction to Autistic Spectrum Conditions (RQF) has been written to support care roles supporting individuals with autistic spectrum conditions.

Underpinning knowledge and understanding in relation to autistic spectrum conditions
Behaviour management strategies
