Therapeutic Tool Box – For Special Needs Assistants   

Due to a huge interest in the recent workshops delivered by Edel lawlor, we are running more workshops that will focus on having different creative interventions that will help Special Needs assistants in their daily work and support with children. It is based around tasks, experiential and practical methods to support children emotionally and socially. The structure of the workshop gives you the opportunity to experience first-hand a number of creative mediums, to reflect on your personal learning and work ethic with adults and children. It will also enable you to reflect and build on your previous knowledge and understanding about play and its therapeutic value.

About this workshop

How many children are there in our schools or services that have been and remain misunderstood? It seems that our services are filling up with increasing numbers of distressed children. People who work with children can be left feeling disempowered and de-skilled as they try to teach them or support them. The longer we fail to connect with these children, the longer the child will miss out in opportunities in helping them realize their potential. 

Teachers are key in supporting children emotionally as well as academically within the class room environment. Often behaviours occur that may need extra attention and guidance, in this workshop Edel will explore 

• Importance of the Role of the Class Teacher
• Why children display certain behaviours
• Triggers – how to recognise and respond
• Teacher communication Skills and Knowledge that will assist in regulating children that are distressed.
