Aspect Schools
Service Description
Operates eight independent schools in NSW, and nearly 100 satellite classes (classes run by Aspect schools, held in mainstream schools). There is also a school located in SA. The schools educate around 1000 children with autism every year, aged from three years and nine months. Learning environments are tailored to the special needs of students with autism. Class sizes are small with a high teacher to student ratio. All classes include a teacher and a teacher's aide. The goal is to help students develop the skills to become as independent as possible and to enable them to succeed in the wider community.
