Autism and key strategies: primary school setting

Professional Development General Workshop

Suitable for professionals supporting individuals aged 5-12.

This workshop is designed for staff who work in the primary setting and already have a sound knowledge of autism but are looking for ways to get students on the spectrum engaged in the classroom in a meaningful and successful way. The presenter will help you build a toolbox that will do just that, with a particular focus on setting up for success in 2022.

Topics covered in this workshop:

• Creating a student profile
• Setting up accessible and inclusive classroom environments
• Effective instructional approaches
• Strategies for positive classroom engagement, and
• Whole class approaches.

All participants receive a certificate stating links to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers or to the Allied Health Standards where appropriate.

Professional Development Workshops are designed for any professional that support an individual on the autism spectrum.

Workshop Definitions:

GENERAL WORKSHOPS are designed to give participants an introduction to
understanding the autism spectrum and provides workshop participants with the knowledge of key strategies to support individuals in a range of settings.

IN FOCUS WORKSHOPS are designed for participants who have a good, current
understanding of autism and are looking for a more in-depth understanding
relating to a particular area of the autism field. This greater knowledge in turn
provides greater confidence in applying strategies to support individuals in this
area. It is recommended that participants attend an Autism SA General Workshop prior to attending an In-Focus Workshop or Masterclass unless they have a good, current understanding of autism.

MASTERCLASS WORKSHOPS are based on the concept that there is always more to learn. Masterclasses are short intensive workshops that are designed to provide participants who already have a sound current understanding of autism, with specific and extended content relating to a particular topic, strategy or program.
