| Educational Support |
| This service is provided for children between the ages of 3 and
18 years who have special educational needs. Support is given, on
an individual basis, in all academic and social areas in need of
development. This includes language / communication, writing / pre-writing
skills, mathematics / cognition, fine and gross motor skills, social
interaction and play skills. Sessions vary according to each child’s
needs. For most children, however, they require a highly structured
routine and for this I follow aspects of the TEACCH (Treatment and
Education of Autistic Children and Communication Handicapped) method
using a visual schedule, reward system and start and finish boxes.
For those children who have language difficulties I also tend to
use PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) and objects, photographs
and/or symbols to aid their learning.
Parents have the opportunity to observe the sessions, providing their child is not effected by their presence. If observation does not take place then a session by session synopsis is provided on the child’s attainments. Opportunity is offered to work on the school’s Individual Educational Programme, if applicable, or the establishment of the child’s own educational programme. Long and short term goals and progress reports are also supplied. |
