Autistic spectrum disorder class

St Cronan’s JNS has, as part of its school community, two classes for autistic children. Each class has six children, one class teacher and two Special Needs Assistants. We also have a Sensory Integration Room and a Multi-Sensory Room located adjacent to these classrooms.

We aim to offer an Autism specific learning environment within a mainstream school. This type of educational setting facilitates optimum inclusion as part of the school community with access to mainstream activities as appropriate.

The classrooms are physically structured in accordance with the TEACCH Model, with specific areas for individual learning, group work, play and lunch.

The Sensory Integration Room consists of a variety of equipment to develop fine and gross motor skills, aid sensory processing and provide exercises for both stimulation and preparation for learning.

The multi-sensory room consists of fibre-optic lights, bubble tube, projector, mirrors, a variety of textiles and mood music. This room can be used to stimulate a child or help a child self-regulate.
