Our teaching philosophy

We are committed to keeping up to date with best practice in both teaching pedagogy and neuro-affirming practices. The Autism Cooperative Research Centre (Autism CRC) Guiding Principles help us to know what is most important when supporting autistic children, young people and their families. We aim to provide a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum which is challenging, appropriate and differentiated for individual needs.
