Autism Provision
Foyle View has a long history of providing specific provision for pupils with autism.  As the needs of children within the autistic spectrum vary, a wide range of combined skills and approaches are used with pupils in meeting their individual needs.  The school also emphasises that a child’s needs are wider, and often more complex, than those associated with a specific condition.  Listed below are some of the resources, interventions and arrangements within Foyle View that can be drawn on to meet the individual needs of pupils:

§       autism specific classes;

§       TEACCH;

§       Intensive interaction;

§       High staff: pupil ratios

Alongside this,  the school is committed to ensuring that staff training and development place Foyle View at the forefront of new developments in relation to a wide range of approaches.
