PROACT-SCIPr-UK
Marion Cornick developed and implemented the PROACT-SCIPr-UK® programme, during her time as Principal of The Loddon School®, to enable the students to lead a fulfilling life.
Soon the amazing responses from the School’s students was being seen by others outside of the school and the obvious benefits that this approach was having. This led to requests and recommendations to supply training in the PROACT-SCIPr-UK® approach throughout the UK.
Marion understood that each person had different needs and not just as a child but that those needs continued into adulthood. Loddon Training & Consultancy was created in the early 1990’s delivering training not only to teachers, parents and carers but also organisations supporting adults.
At The Mendip School we start by understanding children’s behaviour. Our exerience of working with children with ASD/SLCN shows that behaviours of concern result from not being able to communicate their wants and needs. Our approach identifies distress early and we respond positively, in a non-restrictive way. We only ever teach supportive physical interventions when it is essential to safety.
This proactive approach comes from the PROACT-SCIPr-UK® philosophy. It is based on evidence and values and takes the ‘whole-person approach’ to supporting people whose behaviour can be of concern and in turn, can restrict their own lives and independence.
This positive approach gives our pupils independence and self-control which enables them to live a fulfilling life.
