  • Middle Years Behaviour Support Project The findings of this project are yet to be analysed. Autism Queensland provided two multidisciplinary teams who worked collaboratively with schools in the Rockhampton and Cairns regions through face-to-face and online meetings.
  • Collaborative Partnerships in Action This project which has involved the Autism Queensland school is ongoing.  The long-term objective is to create professional support products presenting real life examples of collaborative education partnerships in action, through three case studies which each involve a student, teacher and family member working together.
  • An Educator’s Guide to My Way EmployABILITY This project which has involved the Autism Queensland school is ongoing. The project will involve teachers participating in the trial and evaluation of teacher resources to support transition planning for students on the spectrum.
