Rita Jordan, Lecturer in Autism at the University of Birmingham, and Stuart Powell, Reader in Educational Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, consider the implications of the move towards a skills‐based model in teacher education. They take as their focus pupils with autism and offer an alternative perspective on the nature of teacher education in relation to special needs.
