FAO of Teachers, please contribute to my survey

DrSeuss

Many teachers who work with children with autism will be aware of the difficulties we face when trying to get an accurate picture of their abilities.  This is particularly true when we are trying to assess the literacy skills of children with minimum verbal ability.

I am a teacher of children with ASD and a Phd student who is passionate about teaching and learning for students with ASD and I am looking for schools to participate in my research.

I have designed a survey which is part of a wider study which aims to examine the advantages and disadvantages that current reading assessments offer to our students with ASD and how the situation might be improved.

 

If you are a teacher in a special school and you haven’t yet received your link to my online survey, or if you just want to know more about my research (removed by mod)

  • Hi DrSeuss,

    Can I ask, is your survey only restriced to Special Schools?

    My sons went to a mainstream School with a particularly forward thinking approach to ASD support in the School environmment.

    So much so, that they also invited one of my sons to talk with both prospectice parents and pupils on Open Evenings about what support was available for those on the spectrum at the School.
    I must say however, that i've encountered much more difficulty in the College/FE sector with regard to support issues. Colleges often favouring to drop the student to a level less commenserate with their ability, rather than supporting them properly.
    I'm not a teacher you understand, just interested in whether you are extending your study to educational establishments other than special Schools
