AET: Understanding Good Autism Practice and the AET Frameworks for Leaders

Home > AET: Understanding Good Autism Practice and the AET Frameworks for Leaders

The Understanding Good Autism Practice and the AET Frameworks for Leaders module is part of the Suite of Resources for Leaders. It has been compiled for leaders and leadership teams within education settings to embed culture change across their provision and support them on their journey to become an outstanding and inclusive setting. The resources will support leaders to fully embed the 8 principles of good autism practice as outlined in the Good Autism Practice Report.

Description

This module introduces leadership teams to the Good Autism Practice (GAP) Report to help them understand how the 8 principles of GAP emerged. The module has the option to look at a set of case studies that illustrate how settings have implemented the principles through adapting their practice. This will help leaders/leadership teams to plan the best way to embed the principles and meet the needs of their autistic children and young people.

The module also introduces the Autism Competency Framework, the Autism Standards Framework and the Progression Framework and helps leaders to consider how they will use these across their provision to improve good autism practice. The module looks at using the frameworks to implement good autism practice through gaining pupil voice, setting suitable learning intentions, making reasonable adjustments and measuring progress.
