All children need many areas of development to become happy people.
This is why all children go to school
For children with developmental difficulties,
only focusing on one area of the problem is not enough...
They has been shown to make children's and families' lives more difficult in the future.
This includes:
The child should be supported to express needs, choices, emotions, refusal, pain, preferences, and ideas.
The child should learn how to feel safe, understand stress, recover from difficult moments, and use regulation strategies.
The child should build attention, imitation, task engagement, problem-solving, memory, early academic skills, and classroom participation.
The child should be supported to interact with adults and peers in meaningful, respectful, and developmentally appropriate ways.
The child should learn practical skills such as dressing, eating, hygiene, cleaning, transitions, safety, and daily routines.
The child’s progress depends on consistent communication between SENBOX, parents, teachers, schools, and other professionals.
SENBOX uses documentation, observation, data, reports, and progress evidence to review whether the strategy is working and whether it needs to be adjusted.
SENBOX recognises the value of Evidence-Based Practices.
However, EBPs must not be used as isolated “tricks”, quick techniques, or one-size-fits-all interventions.
A child is not a collection of behaviors.
A child is a whole person with emotional needs, communication needs, sensory needs, family history, learning style, cultural background, medical considerations, school expectations, and future life goals. For this reason...
Within a holistic educational approach.
This means that each strategy must be connected to:
the child’s Individual Education Plan
the child’s Behaviour Intervention Plan when needed
family priorities
school expectations
communication development
emotional regulation
independence and life skills
long-term inclusion goals
regular evidence collection and review
An EBP is only meaningful when it is selected carefully, implemented consistently, monitored with evidence, and adjusted according to the child’s real progress.
