Support

for the individual

This extensive team continually assesses each pupil's progress, and
monitors communication needs. The team also evaluates each pupil's
learning style, and assesses any physical and psychological support he or
she may need throughout their education and care.

In addition, Donaldson's has a dedicated Deaf Studies department which
teaches British Sign Language, and provides our pupils with an insight
into Deaf history and culture. Our deaf colleagues also provide positive
role models and mentors for pupils of all ages.

The assessment of

individual learning

styles matched

with appropriate

teaching styles is

essential in

maximising

the

potential

of each pupil.
