Program Summary

Reframing Behaviour provides early childhood educators with practical strategies and tools to support positive engagement, participation and inclusion for all children.

Run by a Novita allied health professional, the program helps educators understand behaviour from a regulation, communication and environmental perspective, and supports them to embed strategies within everyday preschool routines and activities.

The program can be delivered face-to-face, online (telehealth) or hybrid (combined approach).

Program Breakdown

    In-person visit to the preschool site, to observe current routines and activities and to understand what is working well in terms of communication, environmental and regulation supports, and the opportunities for further development. 

     

  2. Upskilling & Knowledge Building (2 hours)
    - Simulation and practical activity to provide insight into the impact of our sensory environment and communication barriers on our regulation 

    - Overview of how behaviour can be analysed in terms of regulation, environmental and communication factors, and strategies that can be used to modify the environment to increase predictability and support communication in the preschool environment. 

    - Scaffolded practice to analyse behaviour and identify routines and activities where regulation, environmental and communication supports could be embedded.
