Education and Centre for Excellence on Disabilities, a seminar held on 23 April
promoted autism awareness and acceptance. The seminar covered a range of
topics, presented by government officials, higher education staff, parents of
learners with autism and self-advocates on the autism spectrum. With course
modules such as Inclusion Strategies for Autism Spectrum Disorder and
Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder, Unisa takes very seriously its role in
researching and formulating approaches to and philosophies of educating
autistic learners. It moreover has a proud history of providing outstanding
support to learners living with disabilities through its Advocacy and Resource
Centre for Students with Disabilities (ARCSWiD), which creates an enabling
teaching and learning environment that ensures full participation and
equalisation of opportunities for Unisa students with disabilities. Setting the tone
in her welcome address, Prof Mpine Makoe, Executive Dean of Unisa’s College of
Education (CEDU), thanked the organisers for bringing together experts and
interested parties to engage on the very important topic of awareness and
acceptance of autism. She welcomed the wide array of attendees, including

“To this end,” he continued, “we have celebrated World Autism Awareness Day
over the past two years. Chiloane proceeded to outline the extensive measures
and programmes that the province has in place to support learners on the autism
spectrum and also their parents and teachers. “In this regard,” he continued, “we
will continue building capacity, including for all staff at the relevant schools. Our
goal is to foster an inclusive learning environment and inculcate a culture of
understanding and acceptance. Moreover, we recognise the importance of
providing vocational training and employment opportunities.” The MEC said that
through partnerships with businesses and organisations, the Gauteng Provincial
Government seeks to build workplace diversity and create pathways to
meaningful employment. “By working together to overcome barriers,” he said in
conclusion, “we can create a more inclusive and supportive society. Let us join
hands to create a future of diversity and celebrate the breaking of barriers.” The
main section of the symposium was devoted to two keynote addresses. Prof
Maximus Sefotho, of the Department of Educational Psychology at the University
