| Résumé : |
Gaining the voice of autistic students has been given increased attention over the last few years and many ways have been developed. In this paper, the teacher in charge of a Year 7 class of autistic students within a local authority, specialist school, explored their views on their first year at secondary school. She asked them to take photographs of places, people and items which made them feel safe and happy to scaffold their discussions. The findings show that autistic students are very capable of sharing their experiences of school in a way that is very helpful for staff to understand what the students view as important and why. The students reported challenges but also felt they were supported by particular members of staff to deal with these. Due to the success of this study, the school is now planning to use similar methods to inform other aspects of school policy and practice. |
