Following instructions is about so much more than completing a task! 💚

At Landon School, we carefully adapt how instructions are given to meet the individual needs of each child. For some pupils, this may mean being given a complete task to work through independently, while others may benefit from one instruction at a time, visual support, prompting or staff role-modelling each step.

By providing the right level of support, we can help our pupils to:

✨ Develop their understanding and comprehension
✨ Process and follow instructions successfully
✨ Build confidence when completing tasks
✨ Strengthen sequencing and problem-solving skills
✨ Develop greater independence in everyday activities

As pupils become more confident, support can gradually be reduced, giving them more opportunities to complete tasks independently and celebrate their achievements. 🌟

Every child learns differently, so every instruction can look different too. 💚

🦖🌿 Sensory Play Meets Imagination! 🌿🦕

Our team created this fantastic dinosaur-themed sensory setup using a range of dry, edible sensory materials — giving our pupils the opportunity to explore, discover and use their imaginations through play.

Dry sensory play can support so many areas of development. Scooping, pouring, grabbing and moving different materials helps develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, while exploring different textures provides valuable sensory experiences in a fun and engaging way.

Adding dinosaurs and imaginative elements can also encourage curiosity, creativity, communication and problem-solving. 🦕✨ Children can create their own little worlds and explore at their own pace, making sensory play both meaningful and enjoyable.

And by using edible sensory materials, the activity can be made more accessible for pupils who may explore through their mouths too. 💚

🍅 Last term, Maple and Willow Class celebrated the famous Spanish festival of La Tomatina! 🇪🇸

The children explored tomatoes through sensory play before taking part in their very own tomato-throwing celebration! There were smiles, laughter and plenty of messy fun as everyone got involved. The staff couldn’t resist joining in either, and it looked like they had just as much fun as the children! Luckily, they came prepared with a spare change of clothes. 😄

Experiences like these help bring different cultures to life through hands-on, memorable learning while encouraging sensory exploration, communication and shared enjoyment.

As the summer holidays continue, it’s never too early to start thinking about the return to school. 🌿

A few small steps at home can help children feel more confident, comfortable and prepared for September. Whether it’s gradually getting back into a routine, practising everyday independence or simply talking positively about school, every little step can make a big difference.

Remember, every child is different and will settle back in at their own pace. We’re looking forward to welcoming all of our wonderful pupils back and supporting them every step of the way. 💚

☀️ Summer holidays can be exciting, but they can also bring changes to routines that some autistic children find challenging.

Keeping activities simple, predictable and centred around your child’s interests can help make the summer more enjoyable for the whole family.

Whether it’s splashing in water, getting creative, exploring nature, visiting the library or enjoying music together, there are so many ways to create meaningful moments without needing elaborate plans.

Remember, every autistic child is unique. What works for one child may not work for another, and that’s okay. The most important thing is finding activities that help your child feel safe, happy and able to be themselves.

We hope these ideas provide a little inspiration for your summer adventures. 💚

Did you know some families may be entitled to additional financial support through Universal Credit? 💚

If your child receives Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and you claim Universal Credit, it’s worth taking a few minutes to check that you’re receiving all the support you may be eligible for.

We’ve put together this simple guide to help explain the Disabled Child Element, the Carer Element, what to look for on your Universal Credit statement, and when it may be worth speaking to the DWP about your claim.

We know navigating benefits can feel overwhelming, so we hope this information helps point families in the right direction.

Please note: eligibility depends on your individual circumstances. If you’re unsure what you’re entitled to, seek advice from the DWP or an independent benefits adviser.

✨ Parent Feedback ✨

There is no greater compliment than hearing from the families we support every day. 💚

We’re incredibly proud to share this wonderful feedback from one of our parents, who has seen such amazing progress in just five months. From growing confidence and stronger communication to improved emotional regulation and self-esteem, it’s a privilege to be part of every child’s journey.

At Landon School, we believe in recognising every child’s strengths while providing the support they need to thrive. Knowing our pupils feel safe, happy and excited to come to school each day is what it’s all about.

A huge thank you to our dedicated staff team for the kindness, patience and encouragement they show every single day. Together, we are making a real difference. 🌿
