Practical Strategies & Interventions
John Murray has many years experience of working in schools, and various agencies, including a special school for children experiencing social, emotional and mental health difficulties. Sonia Murray is a distinguished Behaviour Support Consultant, Play Therapist and highly sought out trainer on subjects such as attachment, trauma, play therapy and behaviour management. The authors describe this book as the culmination of their combined 75 years of professional experience and the skills and knowledge accumulated with limited resources.
Each chapter opens with a quote that encapsulates the content, includes opportunities for reflection and draws on real life examples to illustrate specific points. Useful checklists are provided that support the teacher or other professional in auditing their current practice and to put in place the teaching and modelling of appropriate behaviours before needing to manage the less desirable ones.
Chapters Include:
- The importance of relationships in developing behaviour support approaches and responses
- Establishing a culture that supported the behaviour plan
- Defining and supporting behaviour through the behaviour spectrum
- Target setting for behaviour
- Strategies and interventions
This book would be of value to parents as well as schools and it reflects a grounded pupil-centred approach.
