Classes at the Non-Public Primary School Structured TEACCHing?

There are currently four grades of primary education (1 through 4) available within the school, including two general-access classes for children with ASD/Asperger’s and mild intellectual disabilities, and two therapeutic classes for children with disabilities combined with the autism spectrum and moderate or severe intellectual disabilities.

It is also possible to enrol a child (with a currently binding statement of special educational needs, e.g., due to ASD/Asperger’s) in the home education system (ED), including additional therapeutic-classes conducted at the school, free of charge.

In each class, children are supported by a team of at least 3 to 4 people, including the class/subject teacher(s), support teacher (s), and teacher’s assistant.

Additionally, due to the therapeutic nature of the school working with children holding a current statement of special educational needs, we employ a range of specialists in fields such as: psychology, speech-therapy, neuro-speech therapy, special-education, oligophrenopedagogy, sensory integration, A. Tomatis method therapy, and social-skills training (TUS).

All students with a currently binding statement of special educational needs (e.g., due to autism, Asperger’s syndrome, disabilities combined with the autism spectrum) participate at the school or at cooperating institutions in free-of-charge individual revalidation-compensatory classes, such as for in. individual speech therapy, individual pedagogical therapy, individual sensory integration therapy, individual A. Tomatis method therapy, as well as group corrective-compensatory classes (positively influencing the development of communication-emotional-social competencies in children with ASD/Asperger’s according to the main assumptions of the SCERTS Model: https://www.SCERTS.com), such as Social-Skills Training (TUS) and Psycho-Social Skills Training (TUPS).

Furthermore, for all children with a current statement of special educational needs, the Non-Public Primary School Structured TEACCHing applies a range of specialist methods and techniques supporting education — in accordance with the main principles of the TEACCH Model (Treatment and Education of Autistic and Communication related handicapped Children) and the proprietary Structured TEACCHing program: https://structuredteacching.pl.

Main principles of the TEACCH Model include:

Working according to a strictly defined plan and daily schedule; for ex. PHYSICAL ORGANIZATION + DAILY SCHEDULE + AWS
Visual channel for information transfer and visual support; for ex. VISUAL STRUCTURES & EXTENDING STRUCTURES (AAC)
A large number of educational and therapeutic aids of a multisensory nature; for ex. SENSORY INTEGRATION (SI)
Strengthening the child’s natural motivation in the learning process — non-directive / developmental approach / PEP 3

Participation of students in all the above-mentioned individual revalidation-compensatory classes, as well as in all group corrective-compensatory classes, is free of charge.
