Howford Unit is situated in Howford School for primary aged
pupils with moderate learning difficulties (MLD). It provides education for
pupils who have autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and additional learning
difficulties. However, these learning difficulties should not be so severe as
to preclude them from accessing an MLD curriculum, as functional integration
within the school is targeted for all pupils. The unit is staffed by a core
team of teachers and auxiliaries, who along with case psychologists, music
therapist, speech and language therapist and art and gym specialists, work
together as a multi-disciplinary team to most effectively meet the needs of the
pupils. The unit has not adopted anyone single approach in its methodology, but
has an eclectic approach facilitating a selection of the most appropriate means
of meeting the needs of each pupil - within the context of an elaborated 5 to 14
Curriculum. Volunteers to work with the pupils may be accepted.
