A strength-based approach represents a paradigm shift — a move away from a deficit model to a social model which involves teams working collaboratively to question and identify what works well for students.

This practical workshop aims to engage teachers in reflecting on and exploring strategies and tools that facilitate the development and promotion of a strength-based approach to support students with autism.

Participants will:

• Understand a student-centred, strength-based approach
• Explore strategies to use a student-centred, strength-based approach
• Develop a strength-based student profile.

This workshop is aimed at supporting teachers currently working at a Highly Accomplished AITSL Career Stage.
