Venue: At Home
Provider: Inclusively Down
Overview and Purpose:
The course will involve 2 sessions.
Session 1: will be accessed through a voiced, pre-recorded, training session, through which we will emphasise that, despite many misconceptions, there is no behaviour which is specific to children and young people with Down’s syndrome and look at using positive proactive strategies to achieve potential. We will look closely at what behaviour is and how it is through changing our own responses that we can support positive behaviour, develop social interaction skills, and encourage our children to give their best.
Session 2: will be delivered through a live online webinar, before which you will have the opportunity to share examples and submit questions regarding your specific circumstance. This will give Inclusively Down the opportunity to personalise content to meet your individual needs. The main purpose of this session will be to build on what you learnt in session one, network with others and share lived experience, with support to move your child/pupil forward.
The aims for this training course are that you will be able to:
understand reasons why behaviours may be exhibited and can act as a barrier to positive interaction with others
identify the possible cause/s of behaviours that may be exhibited
suggest strategies to use that will help overcome difficulties which lead to behaviours being exhibited
Questions must be submitted following session 1, and prior to 9am Monday 19th October, to allow these to be collated. This will ensure we can respond.
