Teach lifelong lessons to autistic clients

Autism through the Lifespan begins with an in-depth look at what Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) actually is. How does it affect people in different stages and areas of their lives? How can you help ASD clients gain more control over their lives? Get the tools to effectively support an ASD client and their family. For example, working together with your client on gaining self-reliance. Or on dealing with stress.

As a professional, you have to deal with complex social issues. About healthcare, quality of life, social quality and loneliness. But also about parenting, inclusion, poverty and aging. Working on these issues requires groundbreaking and creative thinking and acting. That’s what we do here at the School of Social Studies.

Why study in the Netherlands?

The Netherlands has a large population of international students so you won’t feel alone. In fact, 1 in 10 students is an international student. Why do so many international students come here? Because the Netherlands has excellent, affordable higher education. It also has a thriving economy (18th in the world) so there are plenty of job opportunities. What’s more, the Dutch are open-minded and almost everyone speaks English.
