Inclusive career education – free webinar for parents of children on the autism spectrum
myfuture is hosting a free insights webinar with Autism CRC to help parents support children on the autism spectrum in post-school transitions and career planning using myWAY Employability.
Cheryl Murphy, Chair of the CCSP Diverse Learning Needs Working Party, commented that “it can be very challenging for young adults, parents and carers to find out about the many career options that are available for students with diverse learning needs.
The working party are developing an additional section for the resource Supporting Diverse Learning in Catholic Schools A Guide by Parents for Parents that will assist students, parents and carers learn more about post school options. If you have not previously seen the helpful guide, you can view and download it here ccsp.catholic.edu.au/students-with-diverse-learning-needs.”
As part of the Insights webinar, Associate Professor Marina Ciccarelli from Curtin University, and Cheryl Mangan from Autism CRC will provide information about the myWAY Employability evidence-based resources available to assist students on the autism spectrum in transition planning, to build their employability, and maximise their potential.
The team from myWAY Employability will discuss topics such as:
- Starting challenging conversations about the future
- Identifying personal strengths, interests, and sensory preferences to guide career exploration and work experiences
- Providing a just right challenge
- Building self-determination.
