Attention Autism - Stage 1
The children who are in our Resourced Provision at Hoyle, have daily Attention Autism Sessions. They begin at Stage 1 and work through progressively until they are at Stage 4.
In these photographs you can see our Stage 1 Bucket Time. Bucket time resources are quick and visual, to help develop shared attention, by looking and observing.
Attention Autism - Stage 2
In these photographs you can see our Stage 2 Attention Builder. The adult is gradually changing the colour of the water. This helps the children to maintain focus on a visual, sensory resource for a longer period of time.
Attention Autism - Stage 3
The Interactive Game - Here the children are waiting and taking turns. They can shift their attention. Each child has a turn at adding a marble onto the marble run.
Attention Autism - Stage 4
The Table Top Task - We call this our activity time. The children watch the adult complete a task and then they complete the same task independently. These photos show the children making a shape house.

The Attention Autism Approach - Our Hello Song and The Bucket Stage.
We have filmed a 'Bucket Time' session with the children in our Foxes group for you to watch (as it was a big file it has been split into 2 clips). This may be something you might like to try at home. This approach helps to develop early focus, engagement and turn taking skills.
We hope you will find it useful, engaging and fun!
