Running through all of the TEENS+ programme is Communication. Communication is vital for the students at TEENS+, and often the part of the programme they find most difficult. This part of the programme is aimed at those who have difficulty in, for example, social communication (a common barrier for those with autism) through to those who have little or no verbal communication. All the students have sessions with the TEENS Speech Therapist, though improving on communication becomes a part of the whole programme, whether in learning, sports or life skills.

 

TEENS+ uses Boardmaker symbols and the PECS system to support the students in making choices and expressing their desires. We also have a visual timetable to enable the students to understand what is happening each day.
