Details

This training package draws upon the acclaimed Saturation Model (Morewood et al, 2011) developed by the lead trainer as part of a whole-school approach to supporting autistic students in mainstream schools, fused with emotional regulation and low arousal approaches developed by Studio III (McDonnell & Deveau, 2018).

As a new training package which draws on the clinical expertise of Professor Andy McDonnell and the practical whole-school systems established and evaluated by Gareth D Morewood, 2019 will see this unique training offered for the first time to schools in the UK and abroad.

You can expect to;

• receive a strong evidence-informed training day.
• consider the challenges young people face in educational settings and in their community.
• get clear strategies that are proven to have a significant impact upon learning, engagement and with the reduction of behaviours of concern.

The day will focus on;

• individual students’ areas of need.
• classroom pedagogy.
• whole-school approaches as identified in the research undertaken by the lead trainer along with the development of an understanding of stress, emotional regulation and arousal.
