Four Levels of De-briefing De-briefing following an incident is an important step in helping our learners with autism understand and process their emotions. Overley Hall School offers four levels of debrief aimed at meeting the needs of all the learners. The initial levels of de-brief provide support relating to sensory regulation strategies and focus on repairing the relationship between staff members and learners. The later levels focus on developing the learners: ability to recall the event, understanding of emotions and ability to evaluate what happened in an attempt to identify what the learner can do differently next time and how staff can support them. Principles of PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy) (Dr Dan Hughes) https://ddpnetwork.org/about-ddp/meant-pace/ PACE is a way of thinking, feeling, communicating and behaving that aims to make the child feel safe. Its principles are how we expect our staff to connect with our children and young people and very much supports our ethos. Our learners can begin to explore in a safe and nurturing environment. Person Centred Development (PCD) PCD was developed by Bev Doran (2013), as a result of seeing many young people not having their ‘real needs’ addressed in special education). This involves flexible programmes developed from the young person’s needs and deficit areas of need, often, but not exclusively linked to long term outcomes identified in the Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and individual education planning. As part of PCD we look at the causes of the deficits and begin to address them through a systematic and sequential approach from the roots upwards. This will appear as a subject which is timetabled and named Person Centred Development (PCD) and may be delivered to a group where there is a common need, or to the individual.
