SUMMARY Central to the educational needs and development of any pupil with severe learning difficulties should be the procedure of assessment, programme planning, recording, and evaluation. Part 1 of this paper details the methodology of educational priority teaching which exists at Melland School. Part 2, which will be published in the next issue of the Journal, outlines the programme of structured opportunities for leisure. The important issue of planning for and teaching generalisation of skills is broached. The paper shows how, through widely differing activity content, the needs of the “whole child” are being met.
