It is estimated at least 30,000 children in Australia have an autism spectrum disorder. Helping or educating an autistic child can be difficult as support services are rare and expensive. A new model, known as the Self Advocacy Curriculum, is being adopted in American schools to help children with autism help themselves.
When young people experience bullying behaviour online, it can be difficult to spot. To help your child, you can learn about cyberbullying – what it is, when to step in, and what to do about it.
