Eastwood Nursery ASD Resource Base

Eastwood Nursery School has a small number of places for children with social communication disorders including autistic spectrum disorders (ASD), and for vulnerable 2 year olds. A resource base is a specialist provision within a mainstream school.

All resource bases cater for children who can access a mainstream curriculum but who need additional support or small group work in order for this to be successful.

Resource bases operate in different ways:

• children may attend a specific unit in the school for part or all of the school day, and/or
• they may receive focused specialist support in the main classrooms.

They are all staffed with specialist teachers, support assistants and therapists with expertise in ASD who work in the base and with mainstream teachers.
