This subject considers how Students can better understand ways in which students with an Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) interact with and experience the world, and the subsequent impacts on learning. This subject unifies research from fields including neuroscience and psychology, and explores pedagogy to create an evidence-base from which Students can build profiles and develop interventions tailored to their setting.
This subject references state and federal guidelines to focus on evidence-based delivery of curriculum content, the development of responsive instructional strategies, and changes to the learning environment that cater for the range of individuals with ASC. The subject contributes to the professional learning of teachers in working with students who have ASC.
