Meeting the Demand for Good Autism Practice in Education
What is the AET doing to meet the demand for good autism practice in education?
According to the latest SEND statistics from the Department for Education, there are over 160,000 autistic pupils in schools across England.
Over 70% are in mainstream school, with the rest in specialist education, home-educated or out of education altogether.
In 2021, the number of pupils with an EHC plan rose by 10% to 325,600
The most common type of need among pupils with an EHC plan is Autism, with 92,600 pupils (30% of all pupils).
Demand for accredited and trusted autism support and awareness is higher than ever.
