Presenter Amy Hodges is an Occupational therapist and the primary author of In My Shoes, a school based intervention that she developed as part of her doctoral studies that aims to improve the school participation and connectedness of students with autism in mainstream primary schools. Amy will share with you the journey that led to the development of In My Shoes, including key findings from her research and will also share some of the resources of the program including dramatised videos and comic-strip style illustrations. In My Shoes is due to be trialled in schools this year to test its preliminary effectiveness and feasibility in the school environment.
