Episode 3: Supporting students on the autism spectrum in inclusive classrooms

Inclusive education is a fundamental human right that enables all other rights. Members of The Centre for Inclusive Education (C4IE) at QUT conduct high-quality research that aims to support students, educators, parents, academics, allied health professionals, policy officers, public servants, and politicians to have the requisite knowledge and skills to achieve the systemic reform needed to implement genuine inclusive education. In this podcast, C4IE Research Program Co-Leaders, along with host Haley Tancredi, share conversations with C4IE Members, C4IE Partners, and authors from the best-selling book Inclusive Education for the 21st Century: Theory, Policy and Practice. Listen as we debate some of the misconceptions about what inclusion is (and is not), gain a deeper understanding of the world-leading research being conducted by C4IE researchers, and discuss evidence-based practices that support engagement and learning for all students. Associate Professor Beth Saggers and Dr Sofia Mavropoulou are members of The Centre for Inclusive Education. Beth and Sofia both conduct research that focuses on developing supportive educational environments for students on the autism spectrum.
