ASD Consultancy

Picture
The purpose of this service is to provide schools support in understanding and building capacity in their understanding of autistic student(s) in their school. 

The consultancy will be offered over 4 visits and delivered by an experienced special education teacher in autism. Each visit is approximately 3-hours. 

​The ASD Consultancy can assist with:
  • Better understanding in the learning style of ASD and the ICEBERG
  • Addressing weak executive skills
  • Importance of adjustments and accommodations (curriculum, instruction, structure and environment)
  • Advice on sensory and social behaviour needs 

The ASD Consultant will assist the school in developing a clear understanding of the student through:
  • Discussion and feedback with key staff
  • Classroom and playground observations
  • An analysis of the student's learning profile
  • Support in setting up structures for the student

An effective consultation is possible when:
  • The student being referred has had either a cognitive assessment or a speech assessment or both. At the time of the Consultation, one or both assessments will need to be available. The information in these assessments will help develop the learner profile and inform the recommendations and strategies.
  • The school provides release time for the classroom teacher to attend the feedback meetings with the ASD Consultant.
 
This service is currently limited to DET primary schools located in the Hume-Moreland and North East Melbourne areas of the North West Victoria Region. 

ADMINISTRATION SERVICE FEE
A non-refundable fee of $400 is charged to the referring school for the 12-hours of consultation. Yarra Me does not charge parents or carers a service fee.
