Our School

Every day at Giant Steps teachers, therapists and educators work intensively on the children’s individual goals within a caring and supportive environment. We work with all age levels: in Play Steps (2-3 years), Early Learning (3-6 years), Kindergarten to Year 6 (5-12 years) and Secondary School (12-18 years) programs.

Features of the school program include:

• A transdisciplinary approach where speech, occupational and music therapists work with special education staff in a collaborative team developing individual programs specific to each child’s needs and abilities within the NSW Board of Studies curriculum framework
• The school is structured around class groupings and students engage in whole class, small group, paired, individual and whole school teaching and learning programs
• Highly trained and committed staff
• Individualised small group instruction by specialist teachers and educators
• Programs and therapies soundly based on current research
• Setting of individual goals and close monitoring of a child’s progress
• Program adjustment based on each child’s need
• Parent consultation and guidance in helping the child at home
• Home visits, preschool support, community outings
• Where appropriate, transition to the child’s next educational setting
