Educating Autistic Kids Part 1

The Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability submitted its conclusive report to the Governor General on September 29, 2023. This comprehensive report comes after an extensive four-year process that included nearly 8,000 submissions and 32 public hearings. Among the 222 proposed measures aimed at improving the well-being of individuals with disabilities, one recommendation stands out: a plan to gradually eliminate segregated education by the year 2051. This recommendation has sparked extensive conversations and prompted concern among many parents and carers of a child with a disability, who value the option of specialised education. For parents and carers in the Autistic community, viewpoints are mixed. I recently spoke with Jac, an ex Primary School Teacher and appreciated her openness and candour, as she shared their hopes and worries when it comes to educating Autistic children.
