AUTISM QUEENSLAND SERVICES ARE FUNDED THROUGH GOVERNMENT GRANTS, PRIVATE FUNDRAISING AND FEES FOR SERVICE. THE NON SCHOOL ORGANISATIONS
The Outreach Services Team is a multidisciplinary team consisting of teachers, speech pathologists and occupational therapists. The team is available to provide support to education staff and parents of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder living in the above areas. Certain criteria apply for access to a direct NSO funded service.
OUTREACH ADVISORY VISITS
These visits usually occur in the student’s educational placement, e.g. school, SEU. In most cases the visit will be made by two members of the Outreach team. Visits are scheduled throughout the school year upon request. Prior to requesting a school visit please ensure that Autism Queensland is identified on the EAP Consent/Permission form (if the child has been/is going through the EAP process).
The visits provide the opportunity to address current educational and developmental needs and concerns related to communication, sensory processing, fine and gross motor skills, accessing the curriculum and general behaviour.
The advisory visit service consists of:
Pre-visit information gathering, e.g. IEP reports, medical reports, therapy reports, case history information.
In most cases the visit to the student’s educational/other relevant placement will comprise of:
a) observation of the student in the group/class activities
b) meeting with school staff, educational support staff (ie Guidance Officers, AVT’s, Special Education Consultants), relevant agencies and parents.
c) Discussion during the meeting would focus on current concerns, IEP goals, and relevant strategies that would enhance the student’s educational outcomes.
d) Summary visit report
In some instances, additional direct support may be provided to the student where appropriate (e.g. meeting with the student to discuss issues or strategies, focused play session). This type of support must be arranged with the team prior to the visit
Further references, information papers and resource lists will be forwarded as necessary
Referral to or contact with other agencies regarding the student as required
Follow up contact from AQ to check progress approximately 6 weeks post visit
Follow–up visit 6 – 12 months after the initial visit if required (further documentation required)
Phone contact with AQ as needed
No cost for this service
Whilst every endeavour is made to accommodate requests for visits as soon as possible following the provision of all relevant documentation, in many instances wait times may apply as a result of the need to organize multiple visits in the one area. Eligibility criteria will also apply for this funded service. Please contact the Brisbane and Close Regional Outreach Team for a Request Form on 3273 0000 or email outreachservices@autismqld.com.au (when e-mailing, please state your location).
