This Withdrawal Area provides a learning space for one or two IO/IS/P students who are participating in learning and social support activities with appropriate support. The deliberate open design of this Withdrawal Area provides ease of access for students with restricted mobility as well as very direct supervision. In addition to serving as a general withdrawal area that is suitable for activities that include discussion, reading and storytelling, explicit teaching and demonstrations, it also lends itself to dedicated use as a special purpose setting, a small information technology laboratory, or a literacy and numeracy space.
FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES
Different choices of furnishings that are suited to the specific physical and learning needs of the students will provide opportunities for behavioural management and physical therapy activities.
LEARNING IMPLICATIONS
Given the small size of the area and its open plan, consideration will need to be given to acoustic and spatial implications depending on the type of learning activities planned. Noise interference from the Special Education Home Base area can be a factor if learning processes with different acoustic requirements are operated at the same time. Investigate and construct activities will be limited to those that require small media and technology resources as well as activities that are not dependent on close wet area access and durable surfaces.
Explore ideas, share and develop opinions, debate and decide.
All criteria regarding spatial layout, fit-out, visibility and acoustics can be met.

This learning process is effective with small to large groups provided specific criteria can be met.
Display, exchange and encounter learning artefacts.
Few of the criteria regarding spatial layout, fit-out, visibility and acoustics can be met. A lot of consideration will need to be given to determine how the constraints on ease of use, group size or materials can be overcome.
