The core aim is independence (through communication development). The discovery programmes are highly individualised and built around the diverse needs of each individual student -person centered. Classes are smaller and the learning differentiated with overall SLT support provision. The course is a total communication course that will prepare students for adulthood by enabling them to reach their full potential to build skills in developing routines, improving communication and make choices /decisions that will support them to gain the maximum possible control over their daily lives. Students are assessed using a detailed baseline assessment that enable students to have individualised and personal targets to work towards in relation to their EHCP. Learner profile: ASD /SLD with complex needs appropriate to what the college are able to meet. Duration of the course is up to three years pending funding.
