Social & Emotional Literacy

---

Work with young people to develop skills in areas of social engagement and understanding and regulating their feelings and emotions.

IEP or EHCP outcomes may include:

• Develop understanding of emotional triggers and responses
• Identify strategies to support emotional regulation.
• Recognise and understand the body’s physical response to anxiety.
• Build strategies to support the communication of needs to support staff.
• Build awareness and understanding of individual differences.

Through discussion with setting, family and young person, build an understanding of the young person’s presenting barriers and concerns.

Deliver a personalised, adaptive programme drawing on CBT-based approaches to identify personal barriers and work with the young person through phased introduction and progressive steps to build engagement..

Interventions draw on experience across a range of approaches, including ‘Drawing and Talking’, ‘Lego-Therapy’, social skills interventions such as ’SuperFlex’, ‘Socially Speaking’, and through the use of reflective review of situations and scenarios through communication scripts, role-play, and story telling, as appropriate for the young person’s learning needs and style.

Use of Restorative and relational approaches to, where appropriate, repair and build connections to support engagement.
