Explain how setting wide strategies to promote positive behaviour and emotional and social development can be adapted to support children and young people with speech, language and communication needs
Strategies are essential when planning for children and will benefit those children who do not have an obvious behavioural difficulty. The inclusion of the strategies within the setting will assist the development of the social and communication skills that the children have and don’t have.
Wide strategies could include;
Replacing the inappropriate behaviour with appropriate behaviour. This teaches children to communicate appropriately when they are in difficult situations, for example, the child needs to be able to ask for help when they need the toilet, or to express their emotions if they have a fear or are feeling angry. By teaching them how to communicate properly it also teaches them social skills, which will help them to initiate conversations or actions such as making friends, going to a quiet place where they feel safe or completing a calming activity. It teaches them specific play and leisure skills which could occupy their interests, it also helps them to develop their behaviour targets as well as communication skills.
Taking the child or a small group of child out into a quiet room. We take our key children or a specific child who may need a bit of one to one out into the coffee lounge to play games such as snap, with picture cards. This promotes positive behaviour I.e. turn taking, sharing and listening skills which are needed for positive communication. We also use audible equipment like microphones, headsets and picture books to encourage communication.
Settings can also use strategies and structures that make the situations more clearer by using schedules that are put in place, timelines or calendars that will help to show when something will happen or has happened to see if it a continuous thing. Also using picture or written
