Education (Autism)

Overview

The Education (Autism) program from Torrens University Australia  prepares you with an in-depth awareness of the strengths and challenges people with autism face in education and how to effectively respond to them. Graduates are better equipped in teaching children with autism and creating inclusive learning environments.

Using a ‘person first’ approach, you will increase understanding of autism, and develop and apply positive support skills to effectively engage learners in a range of educational environments. You will learn how to create supportive learning environments to shift away from traditional views of Autism to contemporary practice and authentic inclusive education. This is not an accredited Australian Initial Teacher Education course and therefore does not qualify the student to teach in Australia.

Career opportunities  

You will be prepared for advanced career options within the education profession, with roles in leadership and management, education policy, consultancy and academia. Career opportunities within governmental education departments and non-governmental local and global education organisations will be available.
