Autism Awareness Australia’s Post

Parents shouldn’t have to advocate for their Autistic children! Wouldn’t it be heaven on earth if teachers and principals knew these accommodations (there are a couple that could be changed eg first then to a first-until-then as described by Autism Level Up) I digress. Imagine if even half these accommodations were implemented or even known of or offered by teaching staff and #ParentsofAutisticKids didn’t have to fight tooth and nail for basic accommodations. We don’t even see all of these accommodations routinely, consistently and well implemented in our Autism ‘specialist’ schools. We have a long way to go but if one person reads this and can add one more option to their classroom then there’s a ripple and we can keep building on that. Calling all #Teachers #Principals #Therapists #AutisticStudentAllies let’s start the 2025 school year with inclusion. Note: many of these strategies will also support other children such those with #DLD #Dyslexia #ADHD #LanguageDifficulties #IntellectualDelay #ChildhoodDyspraxiaOfSpeech

Myth Busting Mondays📢 : Part 1 "Autistic children cannot go to regular schools"— it is a deeply ingrained misconception about autistic children. It not only limits opportunities but also undermines their potential for growth🌱. Every autistic child, like every neurotypical child, is unique☝🏽. Their abilities, challenges, and learning styles vary significantly. The actual fact is that many autistic children thrive in mainstream educational settings📚 when provided with appropriate support, understanding, and accommodations. The key lies not in segregating autistic children, but in adapting our educational approaches to meet their needs🤲🏽. Stay tuned🔔 for upcoming parts of our myth-busting series about autism and neurodiversity. Together, we can create a more understanding and inclusive world for all children. #mythbustingmondays #autism #autismawareness #autismsupport #neurodiversity #autismacceptance #autismsupport #adhd #adhdawareness #adhdtraits #adhdchallenges #inclusion #inclusiveeducation #parentingsupport #specialneedschildren #childdevelopment #development #earlyintervention #educational #rebornchilddevelopmentcentre #explore #fyp
