What we provide:
The learning environment is designed to provide pupils with the routines and structure to encourage independence. The use of ICT helps to support communication and visual timetables enable pupils to make smooth transitions to new activities. Phonics are taught through a multi- sensory approach following 'Letters and Sounds' in order to develop early reading skills.
Pupils have access to individual workstations using the TEACCH approach. The use of Picture Exchange Communication (PECs) encourages spontaneous language.
A variety of additional opportunities are offered on a regular basis including musical and sensory interaction and soft play sessions, environmental experiences in the woodland walk, offsite educational visits, swimming and horse riding.
