Autism and Related Neurodevelopmental Conditions

The New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling NSPC has been involved in research and teaching in autism and neurodiversity since its inception in 1998. The online courses provide in-depth theory, understanding of clinical issues and practice, and research skills. NSPC believes that improving awareness, and high quality assessments and services for autistic and neurodiverse individuals is paramount. Continued research into autism and increasing the understanding of what life is like for autism and neurodiverse individuals is essential worldwide.

The distance learning nature of the course means that students can learn in a flexible format that fits around work and personal commitments. The course is wholly online and is accessed by students across the world. Learning incorporates theory, references to real world settings, skills and research. Students learn together in a collaborative way, sharing knowledge and experience.

The courses provide professional development for those supporting autistic and neurodiverse individuals. If you are qualified in a relevant professional field, these courses will qualify you to practice as a specialist within that area. However, the programmes are also of interest to those wanting to study autism and neurodiversity solely from an academic and research perspective. Including for parent, carers or individuals with a neurodiversity who want access to the latest research, and information about services. Features of the course you might like:
