Comprehensive Therapeutic Support
- Speech and Occupational Therapy: Each child at CARE receives individualized sessions of speech and occupational therapy, along with classroom and group therapy. This comprehensive approach ensures that therapeutic support is seamlessly integrated into their educational experience.
- TEACCH Autism Program: The TEACCH Autism Program facilitates learning through a visual and structured teaching approach, adaptable to all ages and ability levels. This program helps learners understand and organize their learning process effectively.
- Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC): AAC tools support learners who have difficulties communicating using natural speech. At CARE, we utilize systems such as Makaton, PODD, and the Grid to enhance communication abilities and ensure that every child can express themselves effectively.
- Physiotherapy and Chiropractic Services: Based on individual physical ability profiles, physiotherapy and chiropractic services are available to learners who need them. These services help address physical challenges and promote overall well-being.
- Music Therapy: Music Therapy at CARE is designed to harness the power of music to support emotional, cognitive, and social development. Through structured music sessions, children engage in activities that improve communication, enhance social skills, and provide emotional expression. Our music therapists work closely with each child to tailor sessions that align with their specific needs and goals, fostering a joyful and therapeutic environment.
CARE Curriculum
At CARE, we use English as our medium of instruction, aligning with the philosophy and principles of the national curriculum through a program of learning through play. We believe in providing optimal learning experiences for every child by adapting classroom materials and teaching strategies to meet their unique needs.
Core Curriculum Principles
CARE’s core curriculum is founded on two fundamental principles: early intervention and skills-based learning.
- Early Intervention: This principle guides our teaching approach for younger learners, focusing on identifying and addressing developmental needs at the earliest stages.
- Skills-Based Learning: As our learners grow, we emphasize skills-based training and functional learning to equip them with practical abilities for everyday life.
Unlike traditional grade-based education systems, CARE’s educational program is skills-based, designed to be a haven for learners who may not fit into mainstream or remedial placements. Our program is inclusive and tailored to the individual needs of each student.
We integrate Speech and Occupational Therapy into our learning development process, ensuring that each child receives the support they need to thrive. Social skills training is a core component of our approach, helping all learners develop essential interpersonal skills.
At CARE, we are committed to creating an inclusive, supportive, and enriching learning environment where every child can reach their full potential. Our holistic approach, combined with our dedication to individualized care, ensures that each learner receives the support they need to succeed both academically and personally.
