Over the past few months we have collected evidence from over 500 research articles and by asking the perspectives of more than 800 people. This has included:
- educators (including teachers, leaders, aides, specialists)
- allied health and medical professionals who support autistic students
- representatives of organisations that support autistic people or inclusive education
- parents and caregivers of school-aged autistic children or youth
- autistic adults who attended school
- autistic students.
Thank you to everyone who has already taken part in this work!
