20 Date updated: 25.08.2023 next review: 24.09.2024 Implementation: The Broad Areas of Need (DFE 2015) Communication and Interaction Planning creatively takes into account the needs of the children, where targets are crafted and implemented through our therapeutic integrated approach; these become part of an Individual Education Plan (IEP). As well as direct Therapy sessions, ‘Communication and Interaction’ is further developed through Person Centred Development (PCD). Each PCD offers a broad and rich curriculum involving discrete or cross-curricular methodology, a thematic and nurturing approach, curriculum drivers and other broad areas of need and learning. Cognition and Learning Practical and engaging experiences are creatively planned that connect to the school theme, PCD and subject specific (or combined) knowledge and/or skills. Experiences then guide the learning journey, advancing skills and functional understanding to a deeper level. Subjects include Maths, Science, Computing, History and in particular English Reading, Speaking, Listening and Writing where deeper levels of learning ensure individually rich language, a voice and progress in other subject areas. Learners are encouraged to observe, problem solve, identify, create, build knowledge and communicate about their experiences. Social, Emotional & Mental Health This broad area emanates throughout our ethos, aims and core values. Carefully planned visits and activities enable learning connections and opportunities with communities, geographic stimuli and life experiences; enhancing generalisation of knowledge and skills, building confidence and developing understanding of how contributions can be made within the community and society. These connections/ opportunities are structured seamlessly through PSHE sessions, Geography, RE, Assembly, PCD, IEPs and Positive Support Plans (PSP). PCD and everyday practice, takes into account Zones of regulation and the maximising of pupil voice and liberties. Creativity is further explored through Art, DT and Music.
