Learning sessions, which incorporate a variety of developmentally appropriate activities, provide a “whole child” approach to increasing the child’s engagement, participation and independence in learning activities. Self-regulation, organisation, work habits, routines for learning and strategies for dealing with challenges are some of the focus areas of learning sessions. This builds the child’s capacity for engagement and participation at home, school and the early childhood setting. The child’s capacity to learn, practise and extend on developmentally appropriate skills and concepts (eg. school readiness and academic development) is increased.
The consultant is a university trained teacher who specialises in children on the autism spectrum. The consultant’s extensive knowledge of child development and the educational syllabi, in conjunction with autism-specific qualifications and experience ensures that the service caters to each child’s individual development and unique learning style. Each child’s unique communication, sensory, movement and emotional preferences are accommodated in all activities, building the child’s capacity for engagement and participation.
