ACTIVE LEARNING CENTRE ALC 1

Specialist Resource Base

In ALC 1 / Dolphins we provide specialist education and support for children who have speech, language and communication needs.  We believe that each child should have opportunities to fulfil their potential through a balanced curriculum with the following priorities:

• The acquisition and development of speech and language skills;

• The development of literacy and numeracy skills;

• The development of emotional and social skills and attitudes which promote self –discipline and self-esteem.

However, the needs of our pupils are very specific.

Each one is unique with their own individual way of learning.

 During their time in Dolphins, in addition to specific teaching, pupils will access highly specialised speech and language therapy expertise.

Each pupil will receive:

• An individual speech and language programme specifically tailored to their individual needs

• Individual sessions with the speech and language therapist

• An individual development plan that sets outcomes and learning strategies to enable all pupils to achieve their potential.
