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 largest not for profit autism specific service provider. Aspect builds capacity and confidence with people who have an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), 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 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 learning, communication, social, and independent living skills to improve the outcomes for students with ASD. 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 supports, 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 customised workshops based on school/service 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 can also deliver supports through the Australian Governments Helping Children with Autism initiative (HCWA). 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 ASD 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 school representatives and parents/carers 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 a focus on autism specific areas of learning (social communication, behavior, sensory)and the development of a student profile - positive behavior support (PBS) including 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 ASD provides a more general one hour interactive overview of ASD for mainstream students. Both programs are suitable for students in Years 5 to 12. 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. Movie Club The Movie Club is a Social Skills Program for mainstream high school students with ASD. 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. Every participant is provided with an information sheet which can be used to contribute to their individualised plan (IEP/ILP). Educational Outreach consultants work with schools and other services 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. Coaching/mentoring programs can be developed to support the implementation of new learning through workshops. 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 ASD.

Social Clubs social clubs provide an opportunity for children and young people with ASD 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. All Aspect s professional learning workshops deliver evidence informed information with a focus on the practical application for schools and classrooms. Educators will leave workshops with practical strategies and supports that can be applied to 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 ASD 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 ASD? A one hour presentation to teachers and other professionals working with school aged children with ASD. The participants will learn about the characteristics of autism and the implications for teaching and learning.
