ARABELLA:

It means that you create an environment both sort of outside and the human environment with us that promotes learning. And it's learning how movement affects the brain and how we can help these kids.

And like last week we had a German working student with us. And she was teaching the children all sorts of concepts that you would think would be too difficult to get across to a child in the spectrum, like about gravity and speed and how to work out speed and all these things. And she even taught them through ways that is so imaginative and it's fun for them. There was no sitting down at the table, no paperwork, no sort of worksheets, nothing like that. It was all outside doing experiments and working with each individual child's passions. So the speed one was all on the Hot Wheels, with these little cars. And they made sort of tracks down through the meadow with that and working out speed that they went and the acceleration and all sorts of things like that.

So it's been really inspirational to see how you can teach.
