‘Embedding effective autism knowledge and practice in mainstream primary schools: The development of a successful model for outreach’

Over the years 2015 – 2017, I was involved in developing a model of outreach for school to school support with the aim of upskilling staff in order to ensure good outcomes for autistic children in mainstream schools.

The findings indicate the outreach model improved the knowledge and understanding across all levels of staffing, from senior leadership to learning support assistants which had direct impact on the provision and outcomes for pupils.
