At Coláiste Mhuire we currently have one A.S.D. class. We offer additional support to students diagnosed with A.S.D. by adopting an inclusive approach which encourages and allows them to access the state curriculum in a mainstream post primary setting. The A.S.D. class is integrated into the mainstream timetable. Students enrolled in our A.S.D. class follow the mainstream timetable for much of the school day and attend the A.S.D. class as an alternative to certain subjects.
Areas of support given to students enrolled in the A.S.D. class:
- S.N.A. support
- Resource teaching
- Social skills
- Literacy skills
- Numeracy skills
- Computer skills
- Social stories
- Specific subject support
- Personal skills
- Organisational skills
- Time management
- Self-management
- Study skills
- Anxiety management
- Student support based on specific recommendations from class teachers and/or professional reports.
