TOP (Thomas Outreach Program) Practitioner – Maple Ridge School

The TOP program supports children in the year before they are due to start school. Children who meet the criteria for TOP will have social communication difficulties or an Autism diagnosis, but will meet most other milestones in their development.

The program of support is delivered within the home and includes: modelling play skills, social skills and developing strategies to support understanding and communication.

The program also supports the child within their pre-school provision by modelling appropriate levels of communication, language and play in order that the staff can meet the needs of the child.

If a mainstream place is allocated, a TPA meeting is set up and TOP support continues for the child into their first term in Year R. This will be used to ensure strategies and support are embedded at both home and pre-school to ensure successful transition and to ensure school confidence.
