The Nurtured Heart Approach for School: Transforming the Difficult Student
Speakers: Linda Aber: Certified Nutured Heart Advanced Trainer, Certified Theraplay Group Specialist & Sheila Ostroff: M.A. Art/Drama Therapist, Certified Nurtured Heart Advanced Trainer.
Topic: The Nurtured Heart Approach will provide teachers with powerful, quick, relationship skills that promote student success within the school and classroom. It is a method especially successful for children with ADHD and those with challenging behaviours, such as learning disabilities, aspergers, mood and oppositional defiant disorders.
Strategies will be offered that enable teachers and other school personnel to have a dramatically positive effect on those difficult students and the entire class, promoting a sense of competence, self-mastery, self-control and greater levels of behavioural and academic achievement.
Hundreds of schools and classrooms nationwide have experienced the powerful benefits of using this approach, such as reduced classroom disruption, suspensions, bullying, increased on task behaviour, teacher productivity and satisfaction.
