A TASTE:
From time to time, it can hectic in a group learning environment; even in a one to one learning situation, you sometimes need support. It is essential to your professional efficacy, and sanity, that you support your team members as you work together towards common goals. There are two techniques I have often called upon in tougher situations, behavioural meltdowns, or total stand-offs, which can help deescalate and manage your own emotional responses and maintain control of the situation. It goes without saying that teachers and therapists need to maintain calm, cool and collected; but, it’s not always easy.
We make meaningful, holistic change, under the framework of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), and a uniquely child-centered, play-based approach to education. This blog is a resource for MM parents, community members and staff; happy reading! May this blog help you find evidence-based methods, gold-standard service, and an exceptional understanding of your Magnificent Mind. www.MagnificentMinds.ca for more information on the Toronto based company.
