The service provides continuing support and advice to mainstream schools through regular visits at a frequency that is dependent on the needs of the child. After working successfully with a large number of children, the Service became aware that there was a group of children who required more support than could be provided in weekly visits. The service therefore created an opportunity for these children and a designated Learning Support Assistant (LSA) from their mainstream school to attend weekly booster sessions at the Hollies special school. During these sessions they would be taught to use autism specific strategies together. The Welsh Assembly Government had invited special schools to prepare bids for a grant under the heading of ‘Unlocking the Potential of Special Schools’. The Hollies jumped at this opportunity to forward their proposal to open the Booster Class. The Welsh Assembly awarded a grant for three years. The Booster Class is financed entirely by this grant and works with the local education authority to ensure that equitable access to the class is maintained. It has now been in operation for over two years and has achieved a high level of success. This paper gives details of how t operates and details of what t has achieved.
