About us

Snowflake School is a registered charity dedicated to advancing educational opportunities for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We operate across two sites and teach children from ages 4 – 16. We use applied behavioural analysis (ABA) and verbal behaviour (VB) methods to teach our children necessary communication skills. An inability to communicate properly can often lead to challenging behaviours such as tantrums, aggression and self-harm. Teaching children with ASD to express their needs and establish meaningful social contact with people around them reduces their frustrations and makes inappropriate behaviours less likely consequently improving their health. ABA/VB is a field of psychology based off the work of B.F Skinner. At Snowflake, each child has a tailor-made individual education plan (IEP) that focuses on their specific learning needs and ability. We use the principles of ABA/VB to teach our children according to their IEPs and help them on their way to greater independence. There is a large body of research to support the effectiveness of Applied Behavioural Analysis and Verbal Behaviours techniques when teaching children with autism. Aside from teaching the ability to communicate we also teach the pupils many other skills such as, self-help skills, social and play skills and the national curriculum. At Snowflake we teach our pupils the essential abilities for them to lead more fulfilling and independent lives. Across both our sites we have created a friendly and inclusive working and leaning environment both for our pupils and our staff. We constantly strive to be a centre of ABA/VB excellence and frequently provide our staff with extra training to ensure this.

  • ❄️💙 When learning is joyful, structured, and truly individualised — incredible things happen. At Snowflake, our Intensive Trial Teaching (known more widely as Discrete Trial Teaching) helps pupils make rapid progress in early academics, receptive and expressive language, echoics, imitation, matching, and discrimination skills. By breaking skills into clear, achievable steps and teaching within a highly motivating environment, pupils experience consistent success — building confidence, communication, and a love of learning. ❄️💙 High engagement. Evidence‑based teaching. Real progress. That’s the power of DTT — and the magic we see every day at Snowflake.

  • ❄️ Functional Skills ❄️ Self‑help and tolerance skills are essential building blocks for independence, and at Snowflake School they’re woven into every pupils programme. Our Behaviour Analyst and Occupational Therapy teams work together to design meaningful, functional targets — from daily routines like brushing teeth to navigating the community safely. These skills empower pupils to participate more fully in their world, increase confidence, and support long‑term wellbeing. With the right teaching, practice, and encouragement, our pupils show us just how much they can achieve.
