Home About Us Our Curriculum |
|
The STEP Centre's structured school day incorporates a broad and balanced curriculum which seeks to meet the individual needs of each child through an interdisciplinary approach.
It includes:
- Physical Development - working with gross and fine motor skills. Activities to maintain flexibility, encourage good posture and facilitate the development of balance allow the child to develop his/her optimal repertoire of movement skills.
- Cognitive Development - using thinking skills. This underlies all areas of the curriculum. Pupils have an individual education plan and work on a differentiated primary school curriculum.
- Communication - developing accessible ways of communicating. These include verbal (speech) and non-verbal (gesture, sign language, pictures and symbols).
- Sensory - activities to encourage more efficient interpretation and organization of sensory information resulting in appropriate responses.
- Oral Motor Therapy - eating and pre-verbal skills
- Social Interaction - experiencing play and developing social relationships
- Self Help Skills - achieving independence where possible.
Through continuous assessment the STEP Centre develops an individual education programme for each child. Every child works towards individually set goals based on his/her needs and level of ability.
