Autism Team
Who we are:
- We are a team of specialist teachers and transition support workers who are based in the Nottingham City Inclusive Education Service. We are a school-based service
What do we do?
- We offer specialist support, training, advice and guidance to schools and settings in order to develop good autism practice
- We support schools and settings in using the graduated approach – assess, plan, do, review - to meet the needs of all autistic children
- We can offer individualised support through a school referral. This could include assessment, observation, target setting and review, as well as providing guidance on using approaches, interventions and resources
- We offer tailored transition support for autistic children moving between schools
- We support families by sharing information and resources, through liaison with schools and settings, including attending meetings where applicable, and through the delivery of a range of parent/carer workshops
- We communicate with other professionals e.g. Speech Therapists/Educational Psychologists, to ensure a joined up approach to support
- We can be part of statutory assessment e.g. for an Education, Health and Care plan
