Graduate Diploma of Education (Inclusive Education)

The Twice Exceptional Student

Technology for Inclusion

Contemporary practice in Autism education requires sound knowledge, understanding and support by educators to effectively create an inclusive and best practice learning environment. A movement in the disability sector advocates for individuals and their carers to have their voice heard. In this subject, students examine the shift in support for individuals with Autism and their carers. More specifically, the Autism community moving to a voice that is heard, rather than passive. The person first approach is used in this subject to introduce the problem solving skills required when supporting an individual with Autism by actively listening to their needs. Further, an exploration of the evolution of Autism education, based on the medical theory in relation to diagnosis of Autism spanning early 1940’s to the twenty first century, introduces students to the complexity of Autism, the development of knowledge and application in education systems.

Learn how to create inclusive classrooms and help Autistic learners thrive. Think about the person first – meet their needs and give them a voice. Develop the skills to listen and support. Challenge stigma and raise awareness.
