Neurodiversity and Autism Awareness For People Working With Children in a Domestic Setting: Course Overview
Caring for children with autism or neurodiversity in a domestic setting presents unique challenges, as these children may struggle with communication, sensory sensitivities, and emotional regulation. Parents or caregivers often need to adapt their routines to accommodate specific needs, such as creating a structured environment or managing sensory overload. There may also be behavioural challenges, including meltdowns or difficulty with transitions, which can be stressful and require patience and understanding. Additionally, caregivers may face social isolation due to the lack of understanding or awareness from others, and the constant emotional and physical demands can lead to caregiver burnout.
