Moving towards collaborative school-based autism research
22 Mar 2022, 18:00 – 19:00
Laura will highlight the importance of collaborative research in autism education and will introduce the work of the Pan London Autism Schools Network Research (PLASN-R) group - a partnership between autism special schools and academic researchers who work together to bridge the research to practice gap in autism education.
In particular, Laura will discuss an innovative action research project at one of the PLASN-R schools, outlining the efforts made to make the research maximally accessible and useful to schools within and outside the network.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in autism and education.
