Our Guiding Principles and Aims
We believe every learner has the
potential to develop skills beyond their
current level and should be free of behaviours and activities that cause injury, pain or limit opportunities for full
community involvement.
We will teach functional communication skills and other skills that will lead to
rewarding personal relationships,
well-being, vocational productivity and self-determined daily activities.
We rely on the literature of the science
of applied behaviour analysis and its
underlying assumptions to guide our
analysis of learner needs and our
recommendations of effective treatment and instruction.
Functional communication is the
foundation that supports the development of skills in all areas and therefore B.F. Skinner’s analysis of verbal behaviour and the
supporting empirical work guide our treatment and instructional recommendations.
The choice of instructional methods will be guided by reliable data which are gathered and analysed on a schedule sufficient to make informed decisions.
We recognise that parents/carers are the child’s first educators and that their
expertise in their child is of paramount importance to us.
