Celebrate the positive

I read this article from Paul Dix of Pivotal Education and I thought it really showed the strength of the supportive system.  We advocate the use of Green sheets to reward the positive behaviour of children around the school, whilst managing the incidents with care and some seclusion.  I think it's important to shout about the good things and talk quietly and…See More

Hi Mike,

Thanks very much for your email directing me to your excellent site. I have a son who has severe language disorder and sensory difficulties. We've had a bit of a journey, accessing the right help for M and I can see that there is a lot of information here, that could be of great help.
