No one is required to stay for the whole session and may leave early if this helps support needs. All sensory aids such as ear phones, Chew Buddies, communication cards etc can be used throughout the class if this helps facilitate a child being able to enjoy the sessions.
The sessions are low demand to help support those children who struggle with demand avoidance. The instructor also has some basic BSL and Makaton signing knowledge to aid with communication. Additional short breaks are incorporated into the sessions to aid with self-regulation.
