Western Autistic School

An autism-specific special school servicing the Western suburbs of Melbourne. We offer a short-term intensive program for students from Prep to Grade 3. We aim to optimise educational opportunities for our students when they move into more mixed settings. To this end, we help our students build their functional communication, social emotional and language skills as well as their literacy and numeracy. We achieve this by providing intensive, personalised teaching at the start of each child’s schooling to then allow the students to use these strategies in an integrated setting. Our Inclusive Education Teacher (Outreach) follows the children into these schools.
