School Consultation

Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in the world. Schools all around the world are facing with the challenges of working with children with autism in mainstream and specialised classroom settings. Children with autism can be incredibly challenging to teach and hard to manage when they exhibit disruptive behaviour in a classroom. Alternatively, they can also be withdrawn, passive and not motivated to learn or attend to lessons provided. They may not benefit from the many social opportunities provided in a school setting as they fail to interact or socialise with their peers. These problems can often leave teachers feeling frustrated, unprepared and unsure what to do to help the student. Children with autism can, however, overcome these issues with the proper support and training. Autism Partnership has created a wealth of options for schools so we can help train up teachers and offer a wide range of support for students that schools may not have the resources to provide.

Our staff have years of experience working within schools and in a consultation role to pre-school, primary and secondary schools. We can provide short-term consultation or ongoing support to individual children, specific classrooms, or entire schools.

We emphasise practical, positive and proactive approaches that have proven to be effective in advancing the educational progress of children with autism. We work with school personnel to provide supervision and training in the process of curriculum development and the implementation of behavioural teaching strategies.

Our main aim is to train school staff to be able to train their own staff, making the school independent with its own training program. Consultation would include input in the following areas:

• Curriculum Development
• Comprehensive Behaviour Plans
• Individualisation of Programming
• Effective Teaching Strategies
• Positive Behavioural Support
• Classroom organisation
• Data Collection
• Program Evaluation

If you have a student with autism you feel would benefit from a systematic behavioural approach, do not hesitate to direct families to us! We will meet with the family to discuss the difficulties the child is having and recommend service options accordingly.
