Traditional teacher professional development programs can be too didactic and have not proven effective. You are more likely to implement new skills when you have been provided with multiple opportunities to practice, and can receive feedback from your trainer based on your performance as an individual.

A student with ASD may require the services of a range of professionals. It is critical all relevant service providers collaborate and co-ordinate to avoid confusion and deliver the programs in consultation with the families.

Families are at heightened levels of stress at the time of transition and they also need to be supported and consulted to ensure positive exp...
Teachers
During a period of transition, it is important that the student with autism receives continuity of support. Teachers can facilitate smooth transitions by sharing information about individual learning plans, behaviour support plans, communication systems, and other classroom supports (such as visual aids) with the new teacher before the transition occurs. Simply sharing information is not likely to be effective. The new teacher will need specific training on how to implement behaviour support...
