Back to EpisodesThe Difference Between Supporting Students And Normalizing Them (And Why It Matters) with Nicki Day
Description
There's a fine line between supporting students with SEMH needs with positive behaviour change and trying to "normalise" them - so they fit into society's idea of how children should think and behave.
In this week's episode, we explore this important topic with Nicki Day, education and parental support advisor (and parent of an autistic child). She explains to provide support in school in the right way, so we help our pupils achieve their potential without impacting negatively on their emotional well-being.
