With a dedicated team of staff, we aim to provide every young person with an individually tailored programme of education accredited by both BTEC and Agored Cymru (Open College), care, work experience, leisure and life skills, whilst pursuing a career pathway in a mainstream college. Students receive training within the community to enable them to live as independently as possible and make their own life choices. Transition planning to and from our college is vital and students are assigned a key worker.
All staff employed at Aspris College South Wales are trained by management through induction and ongoing CPD in areas such as:
- Managing challenging behaviour
- Mental health
- Autism and Asperger Syndrome
- Safeguarding children and adults.
Our Speech and Language Therapists offer support to families in transactional planning which improves the young person’s all round communication skills and social relationships within the SCERTS framework. Staff working in our PEPI facility learn Makaton and receive training in PECS and TEACCH.
Our college embraces technology and iPads are ‘app ready’ for use. We also offer training to mainstream college staff once per year, during their CPD weeks. Our colleges also work with Autism Cymru, National Autistic Society and voluntary aided groups working in the area of autism.
