      An insight into Autism Spectrum Disorder in the early years (2-part series)

      Behaviour is a form of communication. Even if a person isn’t saying words, their behaviour and body language can show what they might be thinking or feeling. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder often take longer to learn how to speak, so it can be difficult for them to fully express themselves. Sometimes, the ones who can speak may not have the skills to explain ‘in the moment’ what they are thinking or what is concerning them. It is therefore important for educators to understand behaviour and the meaning behind particular behaviours.

    • What people are saying

      I think it's an amazing resource!  ECA is well known in the sector for keeping everyone up-to-date and making learning both interesting and current.  Great practice videos too!

      The quality of resources is fantastic - both the content and the presentation.

      Engaging, accessible and relevant.

      The quality is one way of recognising the importance of the early childhood sector.

      When looking through a variety of learning materials and topics on the ECA Learning Hub, we discovered a treasure trove of relevant, meaningful, affordable and value aligning professional development content that would be watched by educators either as a group or individually from the comfort of our service.
