The Autism Extension Program (AEP) is one of 4 programs in Western Australia that is set up by the Department of Education's Centre for Inclusive Schooling. The program is for students with autism spectrum disorder. There are autism specialist teachers and education assistants available, and a homeroom where students can organise themselves for the school day, unwind to reduce anxiety, study during study periods and use as a safe space during recess and lunch. There are two programs offered within the Autism Extension Program. The Very Important Life Skills program (VILS), which includes talk sessions where they talk about things such as social thinking, making friends and expected and unexpected behaviours. The second program is the Community Access program, where students go on a weekly outing to local shops, and go on 2 excursions per term.[7]
