Schools with ORS funded students in them can contract us directly to work with their students. This is often a point 1 or point 2 position depending on the needs of the student.

We will work for half a day or a whole day each week in the school with the ORS student, providing 1 on 1 teaching time as well as supporting the student's programme and learning goals for the rest of the week. We provide resources, training and support for teacher aides and class teachers, liaison with therapists and coordination of the IEP process.
