Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 11-2 (October 2010) . - p.27-31 Titre : The value of training in the understanding of the autism spectrum for staff working in CAMHS Tier 4 in-patient provision Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paula FORRESTER, Auteur ; Sue HATTON, Auteur ; Margo SHARP, Auteur ; Matthew WALLETT, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.27-31 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper reports on training on the autism spectrum that was run for a variety of professionals from different disciplines. It was run twice with different participants, with 20 people on each course. There were Nurses, two Psychiatrists, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists and Teachers from a special unit. A number of young people who are referred with mental health difficulties to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services will have autism or Asperger syndrome. Currently, across the UK, staff working directly with these youngsters may have little or no training about the autism spectrum. As a result behaviours might be misinterpreted and managed inappropriately. There is a great need then to enhance the knowledge and skills of the workforce in outpatient and in-patient units and so this paper will be of interest to those working in such settings.
