2 (ADHD) Attention Difficulties Advisory Teacher To support schools in their planning and provision for children with attention (and related learning and behavioural) difficulties. Much of the role involves observation and consultation work within schools as well as the provision of training. The role also involves liaison with relevant colleagues within the Health Service, both in relation to individual children and also to strategic issues and planning. There are no criteria that have to be met in order for schools to access the service and children do not need to have a diagnosis, other than that parental consent has been gained. Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Specialist Teachers The ASD Specialist Teachers are available to all mainstream schools where there are ASD pupils, both statemented or school action plus, with a diagnosis and five units of support. The main focus is working with school staff to ensure that appropriate targets and strategies are in place. The Social and Communication Specialist Teachers are based at Solar Campus. They offer support from KS1 upwards. They are happy to advise on specific targets and strategies and offer training where appropriate for pupils with ASD Asperger Syndrome Social and Communication Difficulties. The Service will always respond to requests for information and advice on any aspects of visual impairment relevant to a particular child s progress. Pupil-specific assessments with follow-on advice and/or taught programmes in elements of the specialist vision curriculum will be provided for all children who are experiencing difficulties as a result of reduced vision. For further information about the Service, advice about the possible curriculum implications of a specific visual condition or to request INSET, please contact the Head of Service Peter Davies, Tel: (0151) , pjdavies@wirral.gov.uk. Wirral Hospitals School/Home Education Service Wirral Hospitals School and Home Education Service is a coeducational community Hospitals School for pupils age 3 to 19 years who are unable to attend their school for health reasons. The school is located on several sites across Wirral so as to best meet the needs of students and parents. The Community Base at the Solar Campus offers support to a growing number of anxious and vulnerable pupils and for pupils who are recovering from periods of hospitalization and from other chronic and debilitating conditions. In addition to this community base we also have a classroom at Arrowe Park Hospital for those children who are in hospital for any period of time. Within the health field, we work with the Health Trust at Adcote House where students are admitted for assessment by Clinical Psychologists.
