Support diversity in the classroom more effectively.
If you’re an educator who wants to support students in cognitive, physical, sensory or social emotional domains, a Graduate Certificate in Autism and Complex Disabilities will give you the skills in your practice to improve teaching and learning outcomes for students with autism and complex disabilities.
In just twelve months of part-time study, you’ll gain valuable learnings to take back to your workplace, or it could be the first step towards further study – this certificate will give you credit for your studies towards our Master of Inclusive and Specialised Education, or Master of Education.
*Government subsidies enable Flinders to offer Domestic applicants a reduction of up to 80% off full course fees through Commonwealth Supported Places. Offer subject to change.
