Curriculum Access Team and the Eagle House approach At Eagle House Group, we have developed our own unique approach to teaching and learning, which we have designed specifically for learners with an autism spectrum disorder. Our approach has been developed across many years and has sought to combine the ‘best of the best’ approaches including TEACCH, PODD (Pragmatic Organisation Dynamic Display Communication), Makaton and elements of ABA (Applied Behavioural Analysis). We understand that every learner is different, so in order to support their individual needs appropriately, we complete a full autism assessment. This looks at their skills and issues in key areas, as identified in the Autism Education Trust (AET) Framework, which ensures that we understand the impact their autism is having on their learning and other aspects of their lives.
We also understand that learning can only happen when these core elements have been addressed: their ‘autism impact’; their sense of wellbeing; their motivation; and sensory processing difficulties. We look at every learner’s physical, social and communication environments and ensure they have appropriate structure, visual support and curriculum differentiation.
