Strathclyde University: Autism Event
Autism – Partnerships with Families
Tuesday, 2nd May 2017, 4:45 pm – 6:00 pm
Registration from 4:30 pm

Positive partnerships with mutual respect between the teacher and the family are essential to achieving progression in any pupil’s life and learning. The recent focus on the named person scheme, and topical research such as the Lancet publication by Prof. Andrew Pickles, highlights the important role parents play in the development of a child with autism. Fostering effective links and communications with families is a key aspect of a practitioner’s role.
This event will consider the role of the teacher and practitioner in building and maintaining partnerships, discuss examples of practice and offer further signposting to relevant resources.
