ARC Sessions
ARC Sessions on site
Depending on the programme applied for on behalf of a child or young person, schools and other learning settings can ask us to provide between 1 and 3 sessions a week. The focus of ARC sessions will be supporting the child or young person holistically, sessions may include a focus on 1:1 interaction or developing social knowledge. The session may also include management of anxiety, developing sensory experiences and emotional regulation to support successful inclusion in a mainstream/neuro-typical learning environment. Session support will be built around the child or young person’s individual needs.
ARC Sessions at School
ARC Sessions at School are organised and delivered in the same way as sessions at Headlands Grove, however these sessions are held at school. ARC Sessions at School are led by two experienced ARC support workers who will support a minimum of 3 child or young person's and their TAs in a familiar setting.
Who are Sessions for?
- ARC Sessions are suitable for any child or young person aged 4-19 with a need for support around Social Communication and Interaction Difficulties (SCID), emotional regulation/understanding, they may or may not have a diagnosis of neurodiversity.
- ARC Sessions are tailored to individual child or young persons needs with the benefit of being in a neurodivergent aware setting and being in sessions with peers aspiring towards similar outcomes.

- ARC staff support and update the children or young person’s family and school with the progress of the achievements and keep them updated on the support ARC is providing.
- ARC staff offer a flexible approach to plan multi-sensory support for children or young people, adapting and taking into consideration all of the child's or young person’s needs and abilities.
- ARC staff have a flair for celebrating the smallest but most impacting successes of children or young people attending ARC.
- ARC staff strive to build independence and confidence through a range of play based support.
How do we refer a child or young person to ARC?
We expect the majority of referrals to be made directly from schools, colleges and academies, as outcomes of actions from EHR/TAC/CIN processes or possibly to support EHCP outcomes, but we acknowledge that enquiries may also come from SENAT and other agencies.
We are happy to discuss, advise and answer any questions around a package of support at ARC with any professional.
