The Ambitious Approach
We are committed to supporting you in understanding and implementing The Ambitious Approach which is our model of education practice, designed to be used in our education settings to support children and young people with autism.
We offer the Ambitious Approach across all our educational settings. When pupils and learners leave our settings, we want them to find employment, go on to further education or training, and live fully as part of the communities of their choice.
The Ambitious Approach is based on School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SW-PBS) and incorporates what is known about supportive practice for children and young people with autism. The approach is designed to address all aspects of an education setting’s offer, not just behaviours that challenge. Embedding quality of life across all aspects of a setting’s functions is vital to the successful implementation of the Ambitious Approach. This ranges from reviewing the curriculum to ensure it prepares students for quality of life, to auditing policy and practice to ensure it affords dignity, respect, and compassion.
