Kathryn B Report post Posted November 8, 2013 I am a nursery nurse but would like to work with children with ASD. Where should I start looking for jobs. What skills or experience do I need? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sally44 Report post Posted November 10, 2013 There are special needs nurseries, maybe you could contact them about jobs/qualifications/training etc. However mainstream nurseries may well have children with an ASD too. So to move into a specific ASD position may require experience and/or additional training or qualifications and for that particular child to have a Statement that states they need 1:1 from an experienced and/or trained adult. I would think that a special needs nursery would be able to tell you about additional qualifications or training. Your local authority may also hold training days on this subject, which your nursery would need to enrol you for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
