Autism: Meltdowns & Shutdowns
On 5 June @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Dealing with meltdowns and shutdowns can be the hardest part of a PA’s job. The individual you support has lost behavioural control; you are probably in a public place; you must balance safety and dignity to bring this incident to a conclusion…
During this session we will discuss:
- The difference between an Autistic meltdown, a shutdown and an emotional outburst.
- The factors that can trigger a meltdown or shutdown.
- The impact on the Autistic individual and the person assisting them.
- How to support the individual during and after a meltdown or shutdown.
This training will be delivered by Aspens, in person at our Worthing office, and is fully funded for PAs.
