Comment on Unschooling: Do neurodiverse students have an inbuilt education system? by Carla

Mon, 05 Jul 2021 01:50:32 +0000

I believe your response to Harry’s comments are too short and not considered enough. I am a parent of two PDA autistic children. While I support inclusive education, I have to disagree that traditional schools are the right place. Your view of inclusive education (of which I have studied some subjects at university masters level, are idealistic. Most schools are not sufficiently resourced to cater for diverse learning needs. While university level research advocates for individual and inquiry style learning, the reality is very different in the average suburban public primary school. For families of PDA children, there are very few options. I appreciate your experience parenting a child with a disability, but PDA like all disabilities is highly unique and cannot be considered WITH other disabilities. In fact, every autistic person is extremely unique and the majority of the information available for teachers and other education professionals is standardised and depersonalised. My oldest child attempted to fit into the mainstream education model but the only thing that works for his wellbeing at this stage is unschooling. Unschooling isn’t not learning, it’s just a much freer and more relaxed way of learning. We provide a rich environment of literacy and numeracy activities but he has freedom of when and how to do them. If we were to meet your standards of education, we would have a different child to manage, one who was extremely anxious, who would have ‘behavioural concerns’ or who could only cope with significant medication. Is that the world we really want? I appreciate your experience and perspective but it is not nuanced and is not considerate of the lived experience of PDAers.

Comment on Creating a Culture of Inclusion at Keelonith Primary School by leanne

Hi Peter,

My understanding is that the school is funded in the same way as other government schools in Victoria. Therefore, if students who require 1:1 (and this is rare and should only be for medical or extreme behavioural issues), then this would be applied for as part of the usual process. Assistants who hover over students with disability are reportedly hinder learning and create dependency -see the work of Peter Blatchford and Rob Webster for more information about this. Students who require specialist support may be able to access these via the NDIS. All staff who work onsite at the school need to work according with the inclusive framework of the school. I hope this answers your question.

Does this mean there will be specialists on hand including speech and occupational therapists? I assume there would also be more “staff” given that some students will require 1:1 support.
