Set the culture and communicate
Your school culture starts with you. Make a decision to adopt one that is highly positive, enables autistic and neurodivergent students to succeed, and has communication at its heart.
Communicate with your team about ASD, the needs of individual students and the standards of best practice you want to see in each classroom.
Communicate with parents, too. They are the experts and are key to you gaining a good understanding of their child, what works and what does not.
And talk to the child, find out what is important to them and how to provide the support which will help.
