Skills in Depth: Strategies for managing behaviour and developing social skills from 3 to 16 years

This training course aims to help parents and professionals support children with Down syndrome aged 3-16 years to develop age-appropriate social behaviour.

Audience

This is a one-day training course for teachers, teaching and support assistants, Special Educational Needs Coordinators, advisory teachers and parents.

Aims

The course aims to provide the practical knowledge and skills necessary to enable participants to successfully support children with Down syndrome to develop age–appropriate social behaviour.

The course focuses on two equally important practical approaches:

  • how to change difficult behaviours once they are occurring
  • how to prevent or reduce the likelihood of difficult behaviours developing by positive planning

Much of the course content will be equally relevant for working with other children with learning disabilities and/or speech and language delay, in addition to pupils with Down syndrome.
