Primary ASD Provision, Alva Primary School

While the large majority of our learners with ASD are in mainstream schools, there are a few children who require an enhanced level of support due to the complexity of their ASD. These children access Clackmannanshire’s Primary ASD Provision which is located in Alva Primary School. The Provision is for primary aged children who require significant adaptations to the environment, curriculum and require ASD interventions from specialist staff.

Learners benefit from small group and 1-1 teaching, a range of ASD interventions and appropriate sensory learning environment. Staff in the provision work closely with a multi-disciplinary team including Speech and Language Therapist, Occupational Therapist and Music Therapist to ensure support is coordinated.

Individualised planning for learners is detailed within the Child’s Plan, which is developed with the child, the child’s family and professionals involved. For some learners there may also be additional planning documents such as a Co-ordinated Support Plan (CSP).

When appropriate children may access the mainstream school for aspects of their curriculum.
