Attention Autism

Jellybaby

Hi, I'm new on here but am hoping some of you will be able to help me! I'm an SEN teacher and am looking to introduce Attention Autism and Dance Massage into my class timetable - both of which I've been told would be very good for my pupils. I've found Gina Davies Attention Autism video clips online but nothing about Dance Massage. If anyone can enlighten me or direct me to somewhere I can find out more about either, please do!

  • I was trying to be open to discussion in my comments above, but seeing no further discussion, I think I need to lay down the gauntlet.

    With regard to other people being "better qualified" to define the needs of people with autism, are there any guidelines in place, or accepted standards of professional practice, that require people offering services to children with autism, to AT LEAST be sufficiently qualified in their understanding of autism, if not with some actual recognised qualification?

    Or can anyone offer a service, without understanding autism, just cos it sort of seems to work?
