Training
A regular series of conferences and seminars for parents and
professionals is organised by Sutherland House Children's Services.
Often this takes place in conjunction with other parts of NORSACA and
outside agencies. Tailor made training events can also be organised
either at NORSACA's own facilities (at Park Hall Autism Resource
Centre) or at venues to suit the organisation requesting the training.
Areas that have been covered in external training have included:
interactive approaches, early intervention, autism and implications for
teaching and learning, promoting social and emotional well-being,
behaviour support, the distinctive needs of children with Pathological
Demand Avoidance syndrome and working with families.
Recently training has been provided for organisations
including the Scottish Society for Autism; East Midlands Regional
Partnership; Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Hertfordshire Local
Authorities; Cambian Education; Thornhill Park School and the Foster
Carers Association.
Sutherland House School is also an accredited training centre for MAPA
(Managing Actual and Potential Aggression).
