Student Support Services respond to the children in our school community who have additional needs.
The areas in which Student Support Services will provide support for students are:
· Differentiated Reading Instruction Program (DRIP) – focused and intensive reading intervention for students to develop reading skills that enable access to all aspects of curriculum learning. See learning support tab for more detailed information.
- Phonological awareness – focused and intensive intervention for students to develop letter and sound knowledge for reading, spelling and writing.
- Communication - intensive speech and language intervention programs to improve student skills in communication for curriculum learning and social interaction.
- Social and emotional wellbeing - intensive social skills intervention programs to support students with a range of social and emotional needs.
- Motor coordination – fine motor (small muscle movements), gross motor (large muscle movements) and perceptual motor (sensory integration) skill development to support student access to curriculum learning.
Strathpine West State School is committed to providing inclusive education, this means that all students are provided with the opportunity to participate in the whole school experience in the least restrictive way.
