Planning - The Bucket
Attention Autism is an approach developed by Gina Davies at The Autism Centre. We refer to Attention Autism as The Bucket because we have found that it is a very effective approach for all children, not just those with Autism. The Bucket is not just for developing attention and communication skills. During The Bucket, pupils might show evidence for learning in any of the core curriculum areas.
