The SALS program was originally established in early **** to target a specific cohort of students who present with complex and challenging behaviour and would benefit from a short-term, intensive intervention program.
At the commencement of the **** academic year the program was consolidated as a stand-alone school.
SALS delivers specialised activities and learning programs that build students' social skills and self-regulation in environments designed to effect positive and lasting change in their behaviour.
The program has the capacity to provide access to specialists such as paediatricians, clinical psychologists, or consultation with psychiatrists.

Each setting accommodates up to 10 students who are provided with an intensive, individualised program of support while they continue their education.
There is a strong focus on developing students' social skills and ability to self-regulate.
Learning and engagement is flexible, co-designed with students and their individualised needs, culturally responsive and supports self-determination and interpersonal connection.
