FAO of Teachers, please contribute to my survey

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)

  • I have trained college staff with regards to autism strategies (I am a teacher in a school and self employed as a trainer/consultant to other settings) and I've become very aware of a problem in the post 16 sector.  Mostly, in my experience, this is down to the post 16 staff not receiving the support and training they need.  Also, issues with their management teams when they try to put the necessary changes in place.

    Any educationation establishment that has experience of ASD is welcome to complete the survey and the sections address mainstream and SEN settings.  The issue I am having is trying to get in touch with so many settings (I'm using the Schools Web Directory at the moment and a lot of info. is out of date) and a general lack of response.  I think only about 1 in 10 schools have responded so far - if that!

    Thanks so much for your interest :)
