Autism SA has a highly experienced and diverse training team which includes consultants, occupational therapists, speech pathologists and facilitators who have extensive experience in working with individuals on the autism spectrum in a range of settings.

Autism SA presents training that is hands-on, practical and engaging. The emphasis is on guiding participants through a range of activities to increase their knowledge, understanding and confidence in implementing relevant intervention strategies for their particular setting.

All participants will receive a certificate with the workshop title, the number of hours and will state that the training links to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (where appropriate).

This workshop is designed for participants that have a solid understanding of autism who want to ensure they set students, on the autism spectrum, up for success.

Ensuring the environment is conducive to learning should be the educators first step when planning to support the needs of students on the autism spectrum. Carefully designed and considered environments will significant impact their ability to attend, engage and learn.

This workshop will cover:

Evidence informed autism universal design principals;
Sensory considerations and practical adjustments;
Social engineering to support social inclusion;
Setting up effective visual supports and systems;
Getting the rules and routines right;
Whole class positive behaviour systems;
Communication systems; and
Planning and setting up the students team.

Throughout the workshop the presenter will use discussion, activities and videos to deliver information specific to this topic that will enhance the participant’s knowledge of effective learning spaces, which will enable them to provide effective support, inclusion and outcomes.
