Special Education At Bakewell Primary we strive to achieve an inclusive approach to support students with special needs. Our Special Education Teacher provides programs designed to meet the assessed individual needs of students. These programs support each student's Educational Adjustment Plan (EAP), which is developed in collaboration with parents, teachers and involved specialists and is reviewed twice yearly. The younger students attend withdrawal groups for part of their school day, focusing on developing the skills they need to successfully access the classroom and the playground. All students are able to receive most or all of their EAP within their mainstream class, with Inclusion Support Assistants (ISAs) supporting them. The Special Education Teacher facilitates ongoing training for ISAs, inviting specialists such a Speech Pathologists, Behaviour Management, Special Education, and Early Intervention Consultant Teachers to participate in the ISA's Professional Development. Teachers are also supported in the development and implementation of each student's EAP. Gifted students are catered for through Differentiated Programs in their classrooms with support from the Special Education teacher and Senior Teaching staff.
