Coaching

Autism Hub

The department has 7 regions and each has a locally based autism coach.

Autism coaches provide expert advice and support to staff in the state school sector. They play a key role in helping state schools to build their capacity to implement inclusive, evidence-based teaching and learning strategies to improve the educational outcomes of students with autism.

Reading Centre

The Reading Centre has 4 reading coaches and a part-time speech-language pathologist who are based at the centre. The coaches – all experienced educators with special interest and skills in literacy – provide the centre's advisory service, and develop and deliver the professional learning workshops on teaching students to read.
