- A Graduate Certificate of Education in Autism provides a deep understanding of how to create effective learning environments for people on the autism spectrum. It prepares students with an in-depth awareness of the strengths and challenges people with autism face in education and how to effectively respond to them.
- Students will graduate better equipped to teach children with autism and create inclusive learning environments.
- Using a ‘person first’ approach, students will increase their understanding of autism, and develop and apply positive support skills to effectively engage learners in a range of educational environments.
- Students will learn how to create supportive learning environments to shift away from traditional views of autism to contemporary practice and authentic inclusive education. This is not an accredited Australian Initial Teacher Education course and therefore does not qualify the student to teach in Australia.
