Australian Autism Educational Needs Analysis
Australian Autism Educational Needs Analysis
What are the needs of schools, parents and students on the autism spectrum?
The Autism CRC Australian Autism Educational Needs Analysis used a nationwide survey to obtain information about the educational needs of students on the autism spectrum (5-18 years) from four key stakeholder groups including educators, specialists, parents and students on the spectrum (11-18 years).
The aim of the survey was for key participants to identify, from their perspective, the educational needs of students on the spectrum (5-18 years) within school settings.
The Australia wide online survey allowed for the collection of a range of quantitative and qualitative data with a series of closed and open ended questions. The survey was then followed up with the collection of more in-depth qualitative data from interviews with individuals within the various stakeholder groups.
