The Dart Programme is designed to meet the needs of visually impaired young people with Complex Needs and Learning Difficulties. It is developed around four distinct ‘landscapes’ within which learners acquire skills that support them in their preparation for adult life: • Creative (enrichment skills) – art, dance, drama, literature, music, radio, resonance boards, sensory exploration • Daily Living Skills (independence skills) – community/home-based • Physical (orientation and movement skills) – ball/parachute games, cycling, multi-gym, rebound therapy, swimming, walking • Social (participation and work skills) – community engagement, supported on/off site voluntary work Learners are able to negotiate these ‘landscapes’ through the structure of their timetable. The Dart Programme encourages appropriate measures of independence and autonomy and organises educational experiences around the medical and therapeutic needs of the individual. The day commences with self-organisation which encourages learners to engage for themselves in the transition between their residences and the school and college setting. This might involve the collection of items they need or independent travel between locations. The main elements of the day consist of Creative, Daily Living Skills, Physical and Social Skills, as described above. The day ends with self-evaluation which gives the learners an opportunity to consider their experiences and identify successes ahead of the transition back to their residences. Timings are approximate with individuals themselves determining the pace or otherwise of their progression between the various elements of their programme. Where appropriate, individuals may achieve accreditation via the OCR Life and Living Skills scheme.
