Aspect is a leader in education for children on the autism spectrum. Working at Aspect means you will be supported by a team of passionate professional educators.

Class sizes are small and you always have the assistance of a dedicated teacher aide.

This wrap-around multi-disciplinary approach to support means that you will gain new skills and work experience that can help you reach your professional goals.
Every day is so different from the last I learn each day from the students... I love the diversity and uniqueness of each student and assisting them to learn in the way that suits them best. Aspect is amazing at student-focused learning I have never experienced such a nourishing learning environment with a strong child-based focus. I truly enjoy every day watching the students anxiety fade and their creativity shine through. Teacher Aspect School
