Our child centred approach ensures that every student is provided with what they need to learn. Our simple but powerful educational model ensures each child is provided with the best opportunity to learn. In essence our teachers and therapy team follow a learning cycle that: 

• Looks at the individual child and assesses where they are in their learning
• Collaborate with each other and families to determine the learning goals for the student
• Provide the student with what they need to engage in their learning and achieve their goals
• Celebrate successes with the student and family and begin the cycle again

• Know what activities motivate me.
• Tell me what I can do, instead of what I am doing wrong.
• Talk to me in a respectful and calm manner.
• Give me time to process your verbal and visual instructions.
• Plan activities and tasks to accommodate my needs.
• Set clear expectations so that I know how to work and play with others.
