To improve outcomes and opportunities for students with autism, we need to improve our understanding of how their autism affects them. This is where autism profiling can help!
Autism Progress is our autism profiling tool. It helps education and care professionals to assess the true impact of a person’s autism and guides the development of targeted support strategies.
Highlights
- Autism profiling helps improve our understanding of how an individual’s autism affects them
- Autism Progress helps education and care professionals to understand individuals’ capabilities and to develop Personalised Support Plans
- Watch our webinar: An introduction to profiling Autism with Autism Progress
- Visit www.autismprogress.org to download a FREE handbook
Autism charities and SEND professionals helped with development
Autism Progress was developed in collaboration with three autism charities: Autism Wessex, Scottish Autism and the North East Autism Society. Experienced Special Educational Needs Teachers, Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists also helped to finalise the content.
Understand individual’s capabilities
The most detailed current picture of an individual’s capabilities is created by profiling their strengths and weaknesses across four key areas:
- Communication
- Social interaction
- Flexibility of thought
- Emotional regulation
Develop Personalised Support Plans
Ability-relevant support strategies are also provided to help professionals with the design of Personalised Support Plans. The aim is to remove barriers to learning, enhance wellbeing and ultimately enrich each individual’s quality of life.
Don’t just take our word for it
“This profiling tool is both relevant and useful for the assessment of individuals with autism. The support strategies it recommends provide a solid foundation for individual students’ development.” Phil Baker, Head of Education, Hope House School, Nottinghamshire.
