At Maddington ESC, we have utilised evidence-based research, existing programs, and assessment tools to develop a comprehensive Concepts Program that systematically teaches students words, terms, and actions to support their understanding of themselves and of the world around them. These concepts have been organised across ten key developmental areas:
Gross motor skills – pre-ambulatory, early imitation, general
Fine Motor Skills – early imitation, advanced, early writing, culmination
Life Skills
Colours
Shapes
Conditions/Quality
Intraverbals – responses to verbal prompts
Labelling – feelings and events
Location & Transformation
Weight & Volume
