Welcome to

High quality, intensive training in working
with children who have additional support needs,
for:
Working to
Support the Challenging Learner
1 in 5 children have additional needs of some
description. Many difficulties currently
go undetected, or are wrongly attributed to causes such
as poor parenting, poor diet, or malevolent and
obstructive behaviour.
In recent years, neuro-science has revealed
that many problems derive from subtle
differences in brain function and that these can
have a big impact not only on the capacity of a
child to learn in a conventional educational
environment, but on their ability to form and
sustain relationships with, friends, family and
figures of authority.
What we know now, is that small adjustments
in approach can have a very considerable affect
on the long-term learning outcomes of these
challenging youngsters and this not only gives
those working with them the opportunities to
generate real change at school, home and
elsewhere, but also places upon us the burden of
responsibility for equipping ourselves in terms
of knowledge and skills, to make these changes
happen.
That is where training
and continuing professional development (CPD)
come in.
Challenging behaviour and learning styles can
be changed - but a systematic approach is
necessary if the underlying causes are to be
identified. Classroom teachers, support
staff and parents can all be empowered to make
real
differences in the lives of the
children that they support, and Caledonia
Training strives to make this possible.
