Our 1:1 school support refers to an individualised educational approach where your child receives dedicated assistance and guidance within a school setting. This type of support aims to address the specific needs and challenges faced by your child, ensuring they have the necessary resources and strategies to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.
- Individualised Education Plan (IEP):Your child will receive an IEP, which is a tailored roadmap outlining educational goals, objectives, and support strategies. The IEP is developed collaboratively by you, teachers, therapists, and other relevant professionals.
- Personalised Instruction: Support provides personalised instruction to your child, taking into account their strengths, weaknesses, and individual learning profile. Our therapists will adapt teaching methods, materials, and techniques to suit your child’s specific needs, promoting engagement, comprehension, and skill development.
- Social Skills Development: Our 1:1 support helps your child learn and practise social skills, such as turn-taking, initiating conversations, and understanding nonverbal cues. We may use visual aids, role-playing, and structured activities to facilitate social learning.
- Behaviour Management: Our support therapist will help identify triggers for behaviours and implement effective behaviour management strategies. We may use visual schedules, sensory breaks, or positive reinforcement techniques to address behavioural challenges.
- Communication Support: ESAS 1:1 support therapists work on enhancing communication abilities, using strategies such as visual supports, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems, individualised speech therapy techniques and language modelling.
- Academic Support: ESAS support therapists assist your child in their academic pursuits, ensuring they receive appropriate accommodations or modifications to the curriculum as needed. They will break down tasks into manageable steps, provide additional explanations or examples, and offer extra practice or reinforcement to help your child grasp concepts effectively.
- Transition Support: Moving between different activities, environments, or grade levels can be challenging. Our 1:1 support therapist will provide assistance during transitions, prepare your child for changes, and support them in adapting to new routines or settings.
- Collaboration and Progress Monitoring: ESAS 1:1 support therapists maintain regular communication with you, teachers, and other therapists to coordinate efforts and monitor progress. They will participate in team meetings, provide updates on your child’s development, and make recommendations for adjustments in the educational plan as necessary.
ESAS 1:1 school support aims to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment that caters to your child’s unique needs to help facilitate their academic progress and promote social and emotional well-being. By offering personalised attention and tailored interventions, our approach will help maximise your child’s potential and foster a positive educational experience.
