1 Aspect Educational Outreach aims to improve the outcomes of school aged students with autism by increasing their engagement and participation in school and the wider community. Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) is the country s leading autism-specific service provider. Aspect builds capacity and confidence with people who are on the autism spectrum, their families and communities by providing information, education and other services. One of the ways Aspect achieves this is by employing highly skilled professionals with expertise in the field of autism education to deliver Aspect Educational Outreach services and supports. Aspect Educational Outreach supports the ongoing successful inclusion of children and young people in mainstream schools, support units, special schools and the wider community, in collaborative partnership with their parents, schools and other professionals. Based on the Aspect Comprehensive Approach for Education, Aspect Educational Outreach uses a practical approach built on research and emphasises the importance of positive behaviour support and the development of the students learning, communication, social, and independent living skills. The Aspect Comprehensive Approach for Education includes a specialised curriculum and a focus on skills training informed by individual assessment and planning. It recognises the importance of positive behaviour support through environmental accommodations, structured learning and transition planning, multidisciplinary expertise, family involvement and professional learning for staff. Programs and supports include: School-based support - whole school approach and individual student focused, peer education and group programs; Community based social supports - local social clubs and integration in community based activities; Individual supports - coordination of supports, diagnosis disclosure, home education support; Professional learning - customised workshops based on school/organisation identified learning needs, evidence informed content and practical application for the whole school and classroom environments. Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) is registered to deliver supports through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and through the Australian Governments Helping Children with Autism (HCWA) initiative. For enquiries and to obtain an application form, contact Educational Outreach on or customerservice@autismspectrum.org.au and type Educational Outreach on the subject line.

2 Services & Supports School-based support Whole school approach - consultancy focused on school, class and individual supports to improve the engagement, participation and outcomes of students with autism in school environments, Individual student consultation - Informal functional assessment based on observation and/or interaction with the student and communications with school staff and parents/carers. This involves a collaborative review meeting with key stakeholders to identify and prioritise areas for development. School-based consultancy is customised to suit the needs of the school/students and may include a focus on: o individual planning (IEPs, IPs) with an emphasis on autism-specific areas of learning (social communication, behavior, sensory) and the development of a student profile. Planning is guided by positive behavior support (PBS) principles and includes emotional regulation strategies, o accommodations and adjustments to curriculum, o supporting transition and inclusion, o environmental review, o social supports (individual social supports, playground review and recommendations). Peer education Carol Gray s The Sixth Sense introduces mainstream peers to social differences and challenges for students with high functioning autism in a one hour interactive workshop. Let s Learn More About Autism provides a more general one-hour interactive overview of autism for mainstream students. Both programs are suitable for students in Years 5 to 12. A customised program can be provided for students in Kinder to Year 4. Social skills program Social skills programs address a wide range of developmentally appropriate social topics, such as Conversation Skills, Playground Skills, Sharing and Turn Taking, Asking for Help, Managing Feelings, Dealing with Teasing and Bullying Learning More About Me (Diagnosis Disclosure) and Relaxation Techniques. Groups are carefully organised and matched for age and ability and usually comprise between 6 and 12 participants. A program generally runs for 6 to 8 weeks. Children with a diagnosis of high functioning autism would benefit from these programs. An Educational Outreach consultant facilitates these programs and resources are provided. Movie Club The Movie Club is a group social skills program for mainstream high school students with autism. The program package includes an EO consultant as facilitator and a copy of the facilitator s guide and student booklet. Workshops for students Half-day workshop focused on specific social skills topics. Workshops are tailored to the age of the students. Participants are provided with an information sheet which can contribute to their individualised plan (IEP/ILP). Professional learning Educational Outreach consultants work with schools and other services/organisations to identify specific learning needs and focus areas for school/service professional learning. Standard and customized workshops can be delivered to small and large groups. In addition, coaching/mentoring programs can be developed to support the implementation of participants new learning. The services listed above are also available to Out of School Hours Care and other organisations providing education and support for school aged children and young people with autism.

3 Services & Supports Additional individual supports* Diagnosis disclosure - Learning More About Me provides children and young people with autism with supportive information about their diagnosis in an interactive family workshop. Suitable for students in Year 5 to Year 12 Home education support - support provided to families and school aged children and young people who are being educated at home.

Inclusion in community based activities - short term support can be provided to promote successful inclusion in community based activities e.g. local sport groups, dance groups, karate, etc. Developing individual strengths and interest - support can be provided to develop the specific strengths and interest area/s of a student with autism. Support may include identifying mentors and opportunities for the student to engage in activities. Transition support development of a transition plan and individual supports to promote a successful transition for key transition stages (entry to school, high school and post school options). Social Clubs social clubs provide an opportunity for children and young people with autism to come together, on a weekly or fortnightly basis, with their peers in a safe and supportive setting. The aim of the social club is to support individuals to develop skills to enable greater participation in the wider community through building capacity and confidence. *Additional individual supports can be delivered at school, another venue or in the home environment. Professional learning All Aspect Educational Outreach professional learning workshops deliver evidence informed information with a focus on the practical application for schools and classrooms. Participants will leave workshops with practical strategies and supports that can inform their practice. All professional learning opportunities draw on adult learning principles to actively engage the audience in learning. Customised workshops Schools and other services supporting school aged students with autism can access customised professional learning based on identified learning needs and areas for development. The Educational Outreach consultant will work collaboratively with schools/services to determine the best option for professional learning. Standard workshops What is the autism spectrum? A one hour presentation to teachers and other professionals working with school aged children with autism. The participants will learn about the characteristics of autism and the implications for teaching and learning. This presentation can be adapted to incorporate a focus on individual students within that environment and key accommodations and adjustments.
