Parents session – SCERTS

On Wednesday 15th March 2017 from 6pm-8pm there will be a SCERTS for parents session held at Five Acre Wood School.

The session will be led by international expert Emily Rubin who is coming from America to deliver this training. Emily specialises in Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome and related social learning disabilities and she lectures internationally.

What is the SCERTS model?

SCERTS is an educational model for children and older individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families. The model can also be used with individuals not on the autism spectrum who are developing social communication and emotional regulation skills. SCERTS provides specific guidelines for helping an individual become a competent and confident social communicator and an active learner.

Join us and learn more about:

• How current neuroscience helps us understand social and emotional development in our children.
• How embedding supports for social and emotional engagement in the classroom and at home supports language, literacy, and academic growth.

Refreshments will be available and there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions.

This event is free to all parents/carers of Five Acre Wood pupils.

This session is also open to parents of children who do not attend Five Acre Wood School, at a cost of £20 per person.

If you would like to attend, please confirm your attendance by emailing ndevereux@five-acre.kent.sch.uk or by calling the school office on 01622 743925.
