In ensuring the continuity of critical operations at the Autism Resource Centre (ARC), recovery strategies for Special Education Services—delivered through Pathlight School—are of utmost importance.
This chapter outlines the recovery approaches for each sub-function under CBF-1: Special Education Services, which form the core of ARC’s mission to educate and empower individuals on the autism spectrum.
Given the diverse and complex needs of ARC students, any disruption to education services—whether physical, digital, or emotional—can significantly impact learning outcomes, student well-being, and family trust. Therefore, the recovery strategies detailed herein are designed to minimise downtime, support seamless transitions during emergencies, and uphold the organisation’s commitment to inclusive, consistent, and high-quality education. These strategies reflect a thoughtful balance between immediacy of response, resource availability, and the unique sensitivities of the student population.
