No autism training
More than half of Britain’s school teachers have never received specialist training to help them support children with autism, despite the fact that around one in three classrooms contain a child with the condition, a new study has found. Only 10 per cent have received training in the past 12 months, according to new research from TreeHouse, a national charity for autism education. Around 62 per cent of teachers contacted for the research said they thought children with autism do not receive the right support due to lack of resources and training in the education system.
