Session Overview

“A person on the autism spectrum may have average or above-average intelligence, but they can find the post-secondary education experience daunting and challenging.”

As described in the revised Outcome Standards (set to come into full regulatory effect from 1 July 2025), an RTO will need to be able to demonstrate how it fosters an inclusive training environment for diverse learners.

So, let's explore ways you can work positively with your ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) learners by making some straightforward adjustments to your practice!

Join Kay Schlesinger to investigate smart ways to include a diverse range of students in the learning experience. This session is designed to create initial educator awareness around Autism Spectrum Disorder. (ASD)

 It investigates both learner and educator experiences and presents practical strategies for educators to empower learners with ASD.

Key Topics Covered

  • An introduction to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  • ASD and innovation
  • Learning challenges for students with ASD
  • The insights of learners/educators with ASD
  • Strategies to empower learners with ASD
