Our Commitment to Students with Autism
We believe every student deserves:
Access to diverse opportunities promoting academic, social, emotional, and physical development
Autism-specific, empathetic teaching approaches
An autism-friendly learning environment that reduces sensory challenges
Personalized choices and appropriate challenges that build on individual strengths and special interests
Working Together
Every member of our school community is equally valued. We work collaboratively with:
Parents and carers who understand their children best
Specialists who provide additional expertise
The wider community that enriches our students' experiences
Our Ultimate Goal
We create a supportive framework that:
Celebrates individual achievements, however small they may seem
Promotes gradual integration into the wider community
Prepares students for fulfilling, independent lives after school
At Baskerville School, we don't just teach students with autism—we understand, accept, and celebrate them.
