On the sensory programme learners will develop strategies to overcome barriers to learning. Each learner has a key tutor who works with them, their circle of support and relevant external agencies to plan and review their progress towards their personal goals and aspirations at regular intervals. An extended assessment and on-going transition planning will ensure the provision is appropriate for each learner’s needs. Learners may progress into an adult day programme or independent/supported living after college. A personalised timetable could include: Independent living skills Community participation Activities and experiences that promote health and well-being Participation in social enterprise activities Activities to support the regulation of emotional well-being and sensory needs using person centred approaches Pre-entry literacy and numeracy Opportunities to develop social communication skills using person centred approaches Entry Requirements Learners must have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
