The latest Census date found that in Australia, 164,000 people are living with autism, or 1 in 150 people. It is a condition that can affect the education of school-aged children, which is why supporting students with autism is a core part of Australia's inclusive education system. There is a continuing need for education professionals who have a nuanced understanding of autism within an education context.
If you are an existing teacher or educator working in a diverse range of education contexts, this course will enhance your understanding of learners on the autism spectrum, and your ability to support these learners' participation and engagement.
By developing a practical knowledge base of evidence-informed strategies and practices, you will be able to better meet the specific needs of learners on the autism spectrum, whether that is in the classroom, or in teaching that occurs in other education contexts. The approach you learn will be holistic, with a focus on working with learners of a wide range of ability, thereby extending their learning drawing out their unique talents. You will also learn about strategies to work collaboratively with families and support workers.
With a broad and evidence-based skill set, you will be able to tailor flexible, individualised educational programs and practices that support meaningful inclusion and positive learning outcomes.
