THE I.D.E.A. PROGRAM

Moomba Park Primary School, Autism Partnership and CISCA have come together to develop a new approach to the education of children with autism in a school setting. Titled "Innovative Developments in the Education of children with Autism" (I.D.E.A.), this program was launched in 2010 at Moomba Park Primary School in Fawkner, Victoria. It provides quality, individualised, support for children with ASD enrolled at the mainstream government school, using the evidence-based practices of behavioural intervention. The IDEA program is a whole-school approach, which provides training, consultation and support to all school staff, parents and students.
