We need to support all students to thrive in our public schools.
Currently 97% of autistic students in mainstream schools experience exclusion or bullying.
Neurodivergent affirming professional development for teachers is a low cost solution that can transform school environments in as little as 1-2 years.
The Autism CRC recognises neurodivergent affirming practice as the best approach for supporting autistic children attending mainstream schools.
Let’s get these practices into Victorian schools now to make our schools more inclusive and supportive to neurodivergent students.
We’re meant to be the education state, lets act like it.
