Who is this module for? 

This module is for any member of staff working with autistic pupils aged 5-16 in mainstream and specialist schools. 

Description

This module focuses on the importance of getting to know a pupil and how their autism affects them. We look at examples of distressed behaviours and how these can be supported through a range of strategies, approaches, and reasonable adjustments. 

The module also guides you on how to gather information about an autistic pupil’s interests, aspirations, strengths and differences and how this information can be used when developing a Pupil-Centred Education Plan (PCEP). 

The module introduces the AET Schools Competency Framework for you to be confident when developing and evaluating your good autism practice, following completion of the module.

‘Good autism practice in Schools’ will support you:

  • To develop your knowledge and understanding of good autism practice.  
  • To increase your expertise in using practical strategies and approaches that support autistic pupils.  
  • To develop your knowledge about autism and the individual to inform pupil-centred planning.
  • To help you to reflect on and improve your practice in working with Autistic pupils.

  • Involve the Autistic pupil and their family in decisions.
