Really informative & useful podcast
Review
I’m new to podcasts & I’ve found it highly valuable it is the best advice I’ve ever came across, so very easy to navigate gives a good insight & tips, very handy for school educators as there are so many behaviours to different challenging needs. Will defiantly recommend this to anyone who has a send semh child, especially the school, I really enjoyed listening to these podcasts thank you so much for providing them as I have two sons on the spectrum. Thanks I’ve learnt so much!!
Incredibly insightful and useful
I have been utilising Beacon School resources for a while now to support with my pastoral role and find the podcasts so incredibly useful! I most recently listened to the EBSA one which gave great points for discussion with colleagues, as well as some helpful strategies (such as the TRACKS doc). Highly recommend to anyone who works with young people and/or families who struggle with SEMH behaviours.
