HERITAGE HOUSE SCHOOL

The TEACCH Department at Heritage House School caters for pupils with significant learning difficulties and communication difficulties including Autism aged from 2 to nineteen years. The Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Impaired Children (TEACCH) approach uses physical and visual structure to support pupils to be as independent as possible.

Each pupil has work tasks selected for them individually, which will ensure achievement and progression. In addition to work sessions we have daily group activities, which include Music, Art, Food Technology, PE, Swimming and Community activities. The school has purpose built Art and Food Technology rooms, a music specialist teacher and a Hydrotherapy Pool.

To assist pupils with their communication the school uses the Picture Exchange Communication System. PECS is a visual system, which supports any verbal communication and develops the foundation skills for effective communication.
