Overview

This Disability Strategy initiative is trialling a systematic, cognitive behavioural approach with students with disability across the school. The approach teaches students to become more aware of their emotions and impulses, manage their sensory needs, and improve their ability to problem solve conflicts.

It involves:

• creating four zones which identify with specific activities and display visual aids for students
  

• lessons and recording weekly video modelling sessions to visually teach children about the zones
  

• professional learning to inform all staff of zones
  

• resilience training to promote staff wellbeing.
