Supporting Progress in Autism Education

We are committed to staying at the forefront of knowledge to maintain the currency and effectiveness of our education and support program. Our Research Strategy aims to link innovation and professional expertise to ensure the School’s practices meet the learning needs of autistic young people.

Driving Excellence Through Continuous Learning

In the ever-evolving landscape of autism research, we recognise the imperative to our professional expertise continually. This commitment is woven into the fabric of our School, where we integrate the latest research into our daily operations. Our Data Teams work to challenge our assumptions and reevaluate our approaches, so that we can harness insights from cutting-edged studies on autism, education, and approaches to support.

Active Participation for Lasting Impact

Our engagement in and with research is a conscious effort to improve the academic achievements, personal growth, and long-term prospects of the autistic community. The Sycamore School Research and Evaluation Advisory Group plays a pivotal role in evaluating research proposals to not only ensure projects will be of direct benefit to its participants, but also align with the School’s strategic objectives.

The Sycamore School acknowledges that there are different ways in which the community talks about autism – some use identity first or autism affirming language, ‘Autistic person’ and some use person first language, ‘person with autism’.  Here at The Sycamore School we believe that our young people should be celebrated for their strengths, that they are valued and empowered to be proud of the unique capabilities’ autism brings to their life.  The Sycamore School is using autism affirming language.

 

We would like to acknowledge the Quandamooka people, Traditional Custodians of the land our School is on, and pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging. We extend our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples throughout Australia.
