UNIT CODE
CHCEDS056
UNIT TITLE
Provide support to students with autism spectrum disorder
APPLICATION
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge to provide support to students who have education needs associated with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The unit applies to education support workers who operate under the guidance and supervision of a teacher or other educational professional. They work mainly in classroom settings in schools, with students aged between five and 18 years, but may also work in other education settings within the community.
The skills in this unit must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation, Australian standards and industry codes of practice.

"Two suggestions: 1. Allowance for simulation is essential for this unit. ASD students do not like change and having a new people on placement is one thing, having an assessor come in and sit and stare could trigger behavioural issues such as tantrums and running from the school - it doesn't take much. I like the line from previous (current) units and could be amended to "where tasks cannot be observed due to potential to adverse reactions by people with ASD, simulation may be used or evidence may be sought from the supervising teacher" 2. Many students are undiagnosed for various reasons (normally parents don't want the label or they have some but not enough characteristics to be diagnosed formally). TAs work with these students A LOT and can present even more challenges than when diagnosed. "assessment may include students who are undiagnosed but have one or more traits of a person with diagnosed ASD" or similar"

"I would support this comment, simulation would support meeting performance criteria where it is not optimum to action requirements in the school setting due to individual circumstances"

"I really like what Adam is saying here. I believe there needs to be another acceptable mode of evidence gathering re: simulation etc. "

""must be directly observed by the assessor on at least one occasion" could be modified to "must be directly observed by the assessor who physically attends the classroom, on at least one occasion""
Adam Green 20.08.2019 02.22PM
"Why do assessors need to physically attend the classroom to observe students? There are many technological methods that can be used instead. We need to consider rural students as well as the cost of an assessor visiting students multiple times. This needs to considered or the cost of courses will be prohibitive."
