After returning to Australia, Layne commenced another classroom role supporting students with Autism Spectrum disorder as he completed a Bachelor of Special Education (Primary)/Disability Studies at the University of New England. His employment as a teaching assistant and practicums as a student provided valuable experiences which he continues to draw upon in his job today.
