Positive+Partnerships+Online+Modules

www.autismtraining.com is an interactive website created by Positive Partnerships.

Positive Partnerships is funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Education.

The website provides interactive learning modules which are useful learning tools for teachers and school staff, as well as parents and carers. The online modules delivered are aimed to improve the educational outcomes for school aged with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The component that is applicable as a resource is the Professional Development Component, which is aimed at teachers and school staff who work with students with Autism. The online module covers the following:
 * An Introduction to Autism
 * 8 information topics
 * Making Friends
 * Completing Work
 * Everyday Transitions
 * Sexuality, Personal Hygiene and Safety
 * Positive Behaviour Support
 * Communication
 * Bullying
 * Siblings

The learning modules are self paced, and can be completed in your own time. Furthermore, it adds additional learning resources and fact sheets to build a considerable repertoire to improve the learning outcomes of students with ASD.

Positive Partnerships also supports a whole school framework, which aims to improve:
 * School culture
 * School practices and policies
 * Classroom teaching & learning

It is important as teachers to not only have a repertoire of resources to use for direct student benefit, but also ones that can be passed onto others in need to extend their knowledge. The website provides an easy, interactive way of furthering your knowledge of Autism, or a great resource to pass onto other colleagues and people you are working collaboratively with.
