  1. Assessment and Interventions Kath Togneri, Head Teacher Kaimes School Edinburgh

  2. Our Experiences and outcomes • The National Context • Assessment • Learning and achievements • Interventions • Autism friendly • Progression • Breadth, coherence and relevance

  3. Autism Toolbox ‘The current terminology of ASD is rooted in impairment. In such a context it can be easy to overlook the talents, strengths and competencies of individuals. It is therefore essential to consider ASD in a way that takes accounts of assets as well as challenges’ The Autism Toolbox: An Autism Resource for Scottish Schools [Publication] p42

  4. Assessment ‘‘....is not achieved through a tick list or prescriptive set of tasks. It is individual to each child (young person) and relies on • careful observation • identification of concepts/skills requiring further • exploration • dialogue with parents • other professionals • interpretation of information (Autism Toolbox p 62)

  5. Social Curriculum • Assessment must consider social and communication skills • The developmental profile of children and young people with ASD can be mixed or spiked. • The pupil may be very inconsistent in the execution of tasks. • They may demonstrate competency but then appear to have lost the skill or the motivation to carry out the task therefore ASD is central and not peripheral.. Autism Toolbox Part 2 Section 2.4 Assessment

  6. Examples • Parent/pupil view • Transition planner • Pupil Profile • IEP • Collecting data

  9. IEPs • Assessment will inform key areas for inclusion in educational target setting and future planning. • Targets should not be solely academically driven. • Assessment should also incorporate and value wider achievements. • Wider achievements should be recognised in order to boost and maintain self esteem of pupils. • Children and young people with ASD often do not see themselves reflected in the usual celebrations of achievement in schools. Autism Toolbox Part 2 Section 2.4 Assessment
