Mainstream or special education or somewhere in‐between? What do parents of autistic students want and why
Limited evidence is available on school placement types that Australian parents of autistic students prefer. This mixed methods study explored parents' school placement preferences, the impact of student characteristics on these preferences and parents' reasons for their preferences. Surveys with closed‐ and open‐ended questions were used to gather data from 656 parents of autistic children, including parents of 83 children yet to start school, 4…
Using assistive technology with SRSD to support students on the autism spectrum with persuasive writing
Children on the autism spectrum (AS) often struggle with writing tasks at school. They commonly experience difficulty with two key aspects of writing: the skills required for handwriting (fine motor and perceptual) and the conceptual and language skills required for written composition. Specialist intervention to assist with written expression is, therefore, often needed for students on the AS to succeed academically. This research evaluated the …

This paper describes current anti-bullying strategies a…

Thus, current recommendations are that, rather than presenting mainstream school teachers with interventions developed and tested in clinical or spec…
How students with autism spectrum conditions understand traditional bullying and cyberbullying
Students with ASC are at heightened risk for bullying and their understanding of bullying is known to protect them from involvement in it (Humphrey and Hebron 2015). However, only a handful of studies have examined how students with ASC understand traditional bullying and none of them focused on cyberbullying. To fill this gap, we investigated how traditional bullying and cyberbullying are understood from the perspectives of 89 students with ASC …
