How can we better support ākonga with FASD (or other neurodivergence) before difficulties escalate?

Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS), developed by clinical psychologist Dr Ross Greene, is an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach. It helps us identify the skills an student with FASD may be struggling with and the unsolved problems getting in their way. 

Join CPS practitioner Fiona Harkness for a focused 90-minute workshop grounded in her experience of implementing the model in Aotearoa akomanga / classrooms. Fiona will share what CPS looks like in practice, what has worked, and some of the challenges and key learnings from the field. You’ll explore practical ways to:

• look beyond behaviour to see the communication behind it

• respond proactively rather than waiting for difficulties to escalate

• reduce conflict and strengthen trust and relationships.

This practical and honest session will offer useful ideas for creating more collaborative, supportive learning environments in your own kura / school.
