Why do I like supporting children with an autism diagnosis and their families?

I have a strong connection to the Autism community as I am employed as a Specialist Learning Program Educator. The Specialist Learning Program (SLP) is an endorsed educational program for students with Autism and without an intellectual disability from Year 7 to 12, resourced through targeted initiatives of the student-centred funding model and student individual disability allocation. It is supported by the School of Special Educational Needs (Disability). I also teach students within the learning support program. The Learning Support program plays a vital role in supporting students and teachers both inside and outside the school environment. Staff work tirelessly to differentiate learning to support student needs and help to develop a safe inclusive environment where positive peer interactions can be supported and established. These students have autism as well as other diagnosis (but not limited to) ADHD, anxiety, Sensory Processing Disorder, and dyslexia.
