Following Prue's incredible presentation at the 2021 Australian Inclusive Schooling Conference, we have been overwhelmed with requests from attendees seeking opportunities for friends and colleagues to learn from Prue. We are thrilled to bring Prue's conference presentation to an even wider audience through this webinar.
Prue is a 31-year-old autistic person. In high school, Prue discovered art and drama. This helped her link classroom learning to real life application and to a career as an artist. Prue uses repetitive and tactile processes to allow for experiences of sensory play and creates spaces and opportunities for downtime. Working with oil, ceramics, textiles, sculpture, installation and performance, Prue advocates for the identity, empowerment and sensory awareness of the autistic community. Prue aims to celebrate and progress autistic culture for autistics, while creating experiences that are more broadly accessible.
Through Prue's journey she has become a proud autistic person. Understanding how language can impact a student's identity is important, and how schools can support autistic culture and identity. Prue will discuss what the impact of masking can have on an autistic student and how stimming can assist students to self-regulate. Meltdowns are a part of Prue's life and she will give advice on how to support students who have meltdowns. Prue belevieves teaching autistic people through their topic of interest can support their long-term engagement in school and build self-esteem.

'Prue is really making me look twice at what I thought about my students'
