Leda Education Support Centre caters for students from Kindergarten to Year 6 who have been diagnosed with an Intellectual Disability, Global Development Delay and/or Autism with a demonstrated high educational need. Our staff members are enthusiastic, motivated and highly skilled in supporting students to develop a range of key life skills through a wide range of Life Skills programs.

Leda ESC delivers an intensive Early Intervention/Early Childhood program for Kindergarten and Pre Primary students with a diagnosis of Autism and/or Global Development Delay. Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of key conceptual knowledge through an intense Applied Behaviour Analysis program incorporating Discrete Trials Training.

We are a Teacher Development School through the More Support for Students with Disabilities (MSSD) initiative. Our work in developing a monitoring/tracking  tool in the Maths and English learning areas and aligning the documents to reflect the outcomes in the Special Education Needs Assessment Tool (SENAT) has been recognised and we now support other schools and staff to use the documents in their planning for children with special needs.

Leda ESC, along with Leda Primary School, participates in the Kids Matter initiative to promote positive mental health. We believe that positive mental health in childhood is associated with better prospects later in life. We also deliver explicit Protective Behaviours strategies to ensure our students remain safe.

Our underlying philosophy supports the development of positive partnerships with parents and external agencies to ensure optimum outcomes for all students.  This is emphasised through the collaborative process undertaken in the development of Individual Education Plans (IEP’s), case conferences and a range of other planning processes.
