Special Education Schools (SPED)
The Cheshire School is a specialist interim education setting for primary-aged children experiencing complex social, emotional, and behavioural needs. Through a safe and nurturing environment, the school provides a pathway back to learning for students who have experienced school refusal or difficulty engaging in mainstream settings.
The school operates with small classes capped at 10 students and maintains a 1:3 staff-to-student ratio, ensuring every child receives individualised attention. Their approach blends trauma-informed practices with neuro-affirming strategies to support diverse learning needs.
The school supports children with autism, ADHD, ODD, anxiety, or depression, though a formal diagnosis is not required. Students must have a full-scale IQ of 80+ and age-appropriate speech and language skills. The enrolment process includes referrals, observation visits, and trial sessions to ensure the best fit for each child.
Recent research challenges long-held assumptions about ADHD, revealing that the disorder may be more about reward processing than attention deficit. These findings offer important insights for supporting students with ADHD in Australian classrooms.
Recent research suggests autism and ADHD may share common brain connectivity patterns and genetic markers, challenging traditional diagnostic boundaries and pointing towards more personalised support approaches.
