Graduate Certificate in Education (Autism)

The Graduate Certificate of Education (Autism) is designed to prepare educators, family members, practitioners, integration aides and everyone working or related to people on the Autism spectrum, to gain an invaluable in-depth understanding of the challenges and strengths, and how to respond utilising the person first perspective.

The Graduate Certificate moves student perspectives away from the ‘one size fits all’ toolbox, challenging and supporting students to deepen their knowledge to apply a range of educational strategies to help individuals with Autism.

Experiential learning embedded in the course provides students with a range of perspectives of individuals with Autism through problem-solving and scenario-based pedagogy. An examination of the historical and theoretical components of Autism in addition to 21st-century teaching and learning is a core component.
