make school make sense


 

The National Autistic Society's make school make sense education campaign aims to improve educational provision for children with autism, so that every child can get the education they deserve.

Local provision for children with autism is often limited, teachers' training in autism is inadequate and children and their families struggle to access the entitlements that are their right.

It is vital that the good practice that exists in some areas is extended to all schools in all areas so that every child with autism gets the education they deserve.

Until then, we need your help to campaign for change.

Autism is complex. Our demands are simple.

"Education is one of the most important issues facing children with autism and their parents. The NAS Advocacy for Education Service takes around 1,800 calls a year from families about their problems with regard to their child's schooling. These are parents who are fighting a desperate battle to get the right education for their child. Please join the NAS make school make sense campaign today and help every child experience the education which is their right."
