For SENCO’s, Assistant SENCO’s, HLTA’s, school leaders and teachers
This in-person workshop will introduce the SCERTS® (Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, Transactional Support) model, a comprehensive, multidisciplinary educational approach designed for autistic children and adolescents as well as those with diverse social emotional learning profiles.
This workshop will begin with an introduction of the neurodevelopmental foundation of SCERTS, a discussion of the empirical evidence, and the core domains. Next, the content will shift to writing outcomes for learners who are communicating pre-symbolically using gestures, facial expressions and vocalizations, learners who are at emerging language stages, and learners who are at conversational levels.
As we support developmental capacities at these stages, the important role of the interactive partners in providing transactional support will be highlighted. The format is interactive and participants will have the opportunity share ideas, ask questions, and learn from one another throughout the day.
