Abstract
The Autism Education Trust’s (AET) capacity building programme is now in its eighth year. There have been four earlier rounds of the Programme –the AET Programme 2011 - 2013; 2013 - 2015; 2015 - 2016, and 2016 - 2017. The AET Programme 2011 - 13 established the regional hubs training model and introduced school years training for all school staff working with children and young people with autism. The 2013 - 15 Programme involved the development of new Early Years (EY) and Post - 16 (P - 16) training materials for workforces and settings supporting EY and P - 16 children and young people with autism. The 2013 - 15 Programme also involved the development and roll - out of National Standards and Competency Frameworks for EY and P - 16 settings. The 2015 - 2016 Programme introduced a newly developed Progression Framework, designed for the AET by Autism Associates.
All stages of the AET Programme have been evaluated by the Centre for Educational Development, Appraisal and Research (CEDAR), the University of Warwick. The evaluations showed that the AET Programme, the training hubs model, and the training and support materials, including the Competency Framework, National Standards, and Progression Framework, were all successful in delivering well - regarded, high quality training to the workforce for children from Early Years to Post - 16. For the 2017 - 2018 period, the AET asked CEDAR to create a small number of detailed case - studies of the processes of supporting children and young people with autism in a range of education settings. The aim s of the evaluation were:
• To map work with children and young people with autism.
• To examine the particular needs of the children and young people during the period of the evaluation.
• To understand the processes by which the settings’ staff responded to those needs and how they sought to support the children and young people.
• To identify the sources of training and information, including, in particular, those from the AET Programme, which enable staff to successfully support their charges
• To establish, where possible, the specific impact of the AET Programme in terms of enabling staff to support children and young people with autism, and improving the educational experience of those children
