Special Unit Class 3’s participation in the eTwinning project ‘Exchanging Cards and other Traditions’
In this project, students between the ages of 4 and 11, attending the kindergarten, primary and the resource centre, are making and exchanging hand-crafted cards or postcards during the year. This is giving the students the opportunity to explore and increase their creativity in drawing and/or writing. Partners from different schools are sending the cards to each other.

Communication Board
Children with autism may have difficulty developing language skills and understanding what others say to them. They also often have difficulty communicating nonverbally, such as through hand gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. A communication board was installed in the school’s playground to help students with limited language skills to express themselves. The pictures and words on the board will enable them to make comments, requests or give instructions to each other.
