SUPPORT PROJECT

Our main aims

For children & young people with Asperger syndrome aged between 4 to 16 years to:

• Have access to and receive a relevant and improved quality of inclusive statutory education
  
• Have improved motivation, behaviour and attainment in schools
• Improve attendance and receive their full educational entitlement
• Attend the school of their parents' / carers' choice within their local community and receive an appropriately resourced, accessible and inclusive education.

How we work to achieve our main aims

We seek to achieve this through:

• Giving children, young people and their parents/carers more say in how, when, where and what is learnt and be listened to.
• Giving school staff opportunities to say what they need to be able to meet the needs of these pupils and be listened to.
• Increasing awareness and understanding of the needs of pupils with Asperger syndrome, including their emotional, social and moral development, thus promoting inclusion within a mainstream school.
• Raising and discussing issues with relevant education professionals.
• Influencing policies and procedures.
