What will I learn?
Trimester 1

Distance and Online learning

Distance and online learning components allow students to develop a rich understanding of the range of conditions which are encompassed within the spectrum of neurodiversity, approaches to evaluation and best practice standards to inform multifaceted, multisystemic support approaches for people who are neurodiverse. In addition, full day workshops are provided to allow students to put into practice their assessment techniques, develop deeper understanding in recognising the different ways in which neurodiversity affects people and how to respond in practice, and to develop proficiency in managing issues in special circumstances, such as education and workplace contexts.

Online resources allow students to work at their own pace during the trimester. This flexible, student-focused approach to course delivery takes account of and caters for time and work pressures experienced by busy professionals.

Applicants should:
-Hold an undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in Medicine, Nursing, Psychology, Education, Human Resource Management, Leadership or cognate areas
-Possess an equivalent professional qualification, or
-Have relevant clinical experience in mental health, education, social care.
