The day

Children attend school from 9.00am - 3.00pm. The children work one-to-one throughout the day, either in class, outside, in the library or soft play room. The day is broken up into small sessions of natural environment training and extensive teaching at the table.

Children have the opportunity to do a small group day activity each day. They have the opportunity to access the six areas of the Foundation Stage every day. The six areas are Personal and Social development; Language and Literacy; Mathematics; Knowledge and Understanding of the world; Physical Development and Creative Development. Each child has an individual programme which outlines their individual areas to be worked on and includes access to the Foundation Stage Curriculum where appropriate.

Dinner and snack times are an important part of the therapy session. The children may have a school lunch, or bring their own lunch and snacks from home, along with any other reinforcing items that the child may need to learn to ask for. They will ask for their favourite foods and drinks at snack times, but their reinforcers will be available to them throughout the day.

Tidying is an important part of the daily routine, and is used as a teaching and learning opportunity. Children are taught to tidy their space before moving to the next activity.
