Learning Library: Understanding Autism

We are on a mission at ECE Learning Unlimited to help early childhood educators and leaders be the best. We have lifted the load for busy early childhood educators, by doing the research for you and curating a collection of resources on a range of common ECE topics into one place - The ECELU Learning Library.

Children deserve nothing less!

Let's learn about Autism

In this learning library we dive into
building your understanding about Autism.
One of the biggest challenges for early years educators is that we are most often working with children pre-diagnosis of Autism. So while we may have made observations and recognised some of the signs that a child is displaying, we cannot truly say if this child has autism until this is formally diagnosed. We must be careful not to label children without this diagnosis.
It is really important that we continue to grow our knowledge about how to best work effectively with neurodiverse children so that we can support them in their learning and development.

Recognising the signs of Autism

As early childhood educators we have sound knowledge of usual patterns of child development. Spotting the signs of Autism is not necessarily in our area of expertise. 

But even so, it is useful to notice and identify "red flags" in children's behaviour or communication patterns so that we can take action to seek further help if necessary.

We recommend reading these "Signs of Autism in children" here from Autism Awareness Australia.
