Promoting communication Our total communication approach has many aspects, all supporting the learners and reinforcing communication. Pond Meadow staff and learners use Makaton signs, symbols and speech. To promote better communication we have symbols placed all over the school, these Assisted Learning Displays (ALDs) are on the classroom doors. #PondMeadow #specialschool #equipforlife #ALD #specialneeds #specialchildren #send #sendteacher #pecsuk #specialeducationuk #teachautismprogram #autismawareness #teachersofinstagram #communicationskills #makaton #speechandlanguage #autism #autismclassroom #asd

Giddy-up! There are so many advantages to interacting with horses. Their natural social skills and ability to read emotions, makes them ideal for promoting positive emotions for children with additional needs. Our KS2 classes have the opportunity for a term at Casi’s Farm and are doing so well! @cranleighrda #PondMeadow #specialschool #equipforlife #specialneeds #specialchildren #send #sendteacher #horses #pecsuk #specialeducationuk #earlylearning #sensorylearning #autismawareness #communicationskills #makaton #speechandlanguage #autism #asd #playislearning #handsonlearning #therapyanimals #animalsasleaders #community
