We work with children and young people from reception to Year 13 while they are in a mainstream school. We offer specialist multi-disciplinary assessment, provision and review of specialist ICT (Information and Communication Technology) and/or AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication).
- The team comprises: Advisory Teachers who support children and young people with special educational needs or disability which primarily affects their fine motor skills and physical access to learning and recording.
- Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapists (SaLT), employed by Oxford Health, who support children who require specialist AAC for communication.
It is likely that a child or young person who needs a referral to our team will already be known by the SENSS Physical Disability team or the Vision Impairment team. Before completing the referral form:
- for a referral for ICT, please discuss the pupil’s needs with the relevant SENSS Advisory Teacher.
- for a referral for AAC, please discuss the pupil’s needs with their Speech and Language Therapist.
