Department for Education Post-16 education provision, and outcomes for autistic young people research

Young Researcher

Only one in four autistic young people continue their education beyond school. Ambitious About Autism supported a team of four young autistic researchers to co-produce a piece of research into post-16 education and training for autistic young people working with the Centre for Research in Autism and Education (CRAE).

Funded by the Department for Education through the Autism Education Trust (AET), this research considers what change there have been for autistic young people in post–16 education, since the introduction of new entitlements to education provision to age 25 under the Children and Families Act 2014. The final report was presented to the Department for Education in 2020.
