The PMLD Home Bases offer a ‘whole curriculum’ approach to teaching and learning. We work as a multidisciplinary team, consisting of teacher, assistants, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, speech and language therapist and school nurse, to provide a holistic approach to meet the needs of individual pupils.

We offer developmental and experiential based access to the National Curriculum in conjunction with alternative therapies such as Hydrotherapy, Rebound Therapy (trampolining) and Riding for the Disabled. Pupils also have access to a soft play area and sensory room.

 

In the base we use augmented communication which consists of British Sign Language signing, Rebus symbols, Pictorial Exchange Communication System and Objects of Reference. Opportunities for inclusion with age-appropriate peers, throughout school, are available where accessible.
