Middletown Centre for Autism (MCA) are currently recruiting parents from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland who have a children aged 4-11 years with autism to  take part in a research project entitled  “Sensory Processing and Activity Choices”.  The research will be carried out jointly by MCA and the University of Ulster.   This Project receives full support and is sponsored by both Departments of Education in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

The study will assist parents and professionals in understanding the sensory preferences of children and how these affect their preferred activities at home and school.

November is anti-bullying month. During this month children will learn about bullying through stories, drama, assemblies and discussions. The children will learn about the different types of bullying, including cyber bullying through social media sites and mobile phones. They will also learn how to report it and the consequences if they are involved in bullying. In Holy Trinity bullying of any sort is not tolerated. If you have any concerns or worries please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Boyd.

The following website has some useful information about Bullying.
