Testimonials:

“The resource Positive Steps helps me to think more carefully about exactly how much support I need to be giving children and the nature of that support.”

“Gives me some good strategies to encourage self advocacy i.e. ask the pupil “How can I help?””

“Consider my role, role of others in level of support needed, ask the child where they need support and involve the whole school staff.”
