Curriculum 

The curriculum for Step by Step has been developed specifically to meet the needs of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. It addresses the key subject areas of the National Curriculum at an appropriate level for each individual child using methods which are relevant to their particular needs.

Knowledge and skills are broken down into small steps so all children progress at the rate appropriate to them, ensuring that each step accomplished provides a secure base for the next step. Each child has an individual programme with targets and goals to work towards.

In addition to individual programmes, an overall theme or topic runs through each term, broken down into modules linked to National Curriculum subjects. A topic may be approached at different levels according to the individual’s ability.
