Abstract
Autism is an expression of neurodivergence which can present itself in a multitude of ways in the lives and learning of autistic tamariki. Many early childhood kaiako are familiar with supporting the learning of autistic tamariki in their early learning communities and are committed to supporting the inclusive early childhood education of autistic tamariki. However, enacting this commitment in practice can sometimes prove difficult. This webinar takes a deep dive into how to more expansively understand autistic tamariki and their learning needs in Aotearoa New Zealand’s ECE settings, as well as how doing so affirms and enhances the learning potentials, rights and mana of autistic tamariki, which Te Whāriki promises to all tamariki and their whānau.
