SALT Course Aims

Our training sessions give professional carers, teachers, teaching assistants and wider teams very specific, practical and accessible strategies to engage children and young people who have an identified need for additional support once problems have started to emerge.

The SALT approach aims to embed the social principles of reciprocal interaction, between cognitive behavior and environmental influences, whilst recognising that learning is a cognitive process that takes place within a social context. 

SALT’s training sessions promote a continuous cycle of curious questioning, reflection and creative learning, whilst exploring all behavior as means of communication within the home or school environment and social settings.

SALT promotes emotional intelligence through recognition of the child and adults ability to identify and understand social and emotional feelings and behaviours in themselves and others. This approach offers insight and awareness into managing our own behavioural responses, and interconnected relationships, within situations that maybe socially and emotionally difficult. 

Providing an unconditional, and an empathetic approach to education, through teaching and social learning, we offer practical support to engage hard to reach, engage and motivate children and young people, whilst supporting families and professionals.
