FAQ's
What makes Aspect’s professional learning different from other autism training?
Our training is neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based, and grounded in over 60 years of autism-specific education practice. We don’t just deliver content—we walk alongside schools to build sustainable, inclusive practices that make a real difference in the classroom. Our approach is practical, evidence-informed, and shaped by the voices of Autistic individuals.
Can the training be customised for our school’s needs?
Absolutely. Every school is different, and we work with you to tailor the format, content, and delivery method. We can align sessions with your school’s strategic goals, student needs, and available time—whether that’s a one-off workshop, a series of sessions, or in-situ coaching.
How long are the sessions?
We offer flexible delivery options. Common formats include:
- 90-minute or half-day workshops
- Full-day professional learning days
- Multi-session series over a term
- Term-long coaching or mentoring programs
We’ll help design a program that works with your team’s availability.
Do you offer virtual or remote delivery?
Yes. Aspect offers both face-to-face and virtual training options. Online delivery is available for individual schools, clusters, or system-wide initiatives. All virtual sessions include interactive elements and follow-up resources.
Is this training relevant if we already have students on the autism spectrum?
Definitely. Many of our partner schools already support Autistic students but are looking for more strategies, consistency across staff, or help adapting to individual needs. We meet you where you are and build on your team’s existing strengths.
Do participants receive resources or tools they can use straight away?
Yes. Every session includes practical resources, visual tools, templates, and implementation guides. We focus on strategies you can use in your classroom tomorrow, not just theory.
Can we access ongoing support after the training?
Yes. In addition to workshops, Aspect can provide follow-up mentoring, coaching, and consultancy support to help you embed learning and sustain change. We can also connect you to other schools on similar journeys.
Is this training accredited or aligned with teacher professional standards?
Our programs align with the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and can contribute to your professional learning hours. We are happy to provide session overviews and outcome mapping for school records or teacher accreditation purposes.
How do we book or learn more?
You can submit an expression of interest via our website, or get in touch directly with our Education team. We’ll arrange a discovery call to understand your goals, propose a suitable package, and guide you through next steps.
How much does Aspect Professional Development cost?
We’ll build a competitive price for your requirement based on session duration, number of participants and preparation time.
