Autism Inclusion Teacher

Each school in SA has been funded for an Autism Inclusion Teacher (AIT) since 2023, and this funding has been extended into 2026. This role focuses on building engagement and inclusivity in neurodivergent students through evidence-based practice, promoting voice and agency, and implementing sensory and environmental adjustments across the site. At Robertstown Primary School, this includes predictable and reliable routines to reduce anxiety, clear behavioural expectations, and explicit learning activities. Throughout 2025, our site focus has been on improving student wellbeing, and our approach has shown clear improvements in both engagement and academics. We are currently planning a community project to assist with regulation strategies in collaboration with University SA Occupational Therapy faculty through a Community Participatory Project, that will begin in term 1 2026.
