Behavioural Management
Behavioural Management refers to a set of strategies and techniques used to influence and guide behaviour in a positive direction. It involves identifying and addressing specific behaviours, establishing clear expectations, providing appropriate consequences, and reinforcing desirable behaviours. This approach is often used in a variety of settings, namely schools, homes and therapy environments to improve behaviour, enhance learning and promote social and emotional development.
Homework Support
Homework support involves providing students with the guidance, resources, and assistance they need to complete their homework successfully. We provide specialized programs that are designed to reinforce learning outside of the classroom. Homework support helps students understand and apply concepts, manage their time effectively, and develop independent study skills. It also offers a space for students to ask questions, receive feedback, and build confidence in their abilities, contributing to their overall academic success.
Program formation and Development
STK Developmental Interventions takes a personalized approach, tailoring both the program content and the methods of delivery to fit each child’s unique needs. We understand that every child is different, with their own learning style, so we blend various strategies to create the most effective intervention. This allows us to adapt our approach based on the specific requirements of each child, ensuring they receive the support that suits them best.
School Facilitation & Supervision
School facilitation refers to the process of guiding and supporting students, teachers, and staff to enhance the learning environment and improve educational outcomes. It involves coordinating resources, fostering collaboration, and ensuring that the child’s goals and objectives are met effectively within their school environment. School facilitation may focus on curriculum development, teacher training, engagement with other students, and community involvement, all aimed at creating a positive and productive educational experience for the child. The goal is to remove barriers to learning, promote best practices, and support the overall growth and development of children within their school.
Social & Play Skills
Social and play skills interventions are strategies designed to help children develop essential social interactions and play behaviours. These interventions target skills like communication, cooperation, sharing, and understanding social cues, which are crucial for forming healthy relationships and engaging in group activities. Through structured activities, role-playing, and guided play, children learn how to interact positively with peers, manage emotions, and navigate social situations. These interventions are often used to support children who may struggle with socialization, helping them build confidence and thrive in social environments.
Training and Support for Au-pair/ Nanny
Supporting a neurodivergent child as an Au pair or nanny requires a thoughtful approach that includes understanding the child’s unique needs, applying effective strategies, and collaborating closely with parents and professionals. It starts with gaining knowledge about the needs of the neurodiverse child and their diagnosis to better understand the child’s strengths, challenges, and specific preferences or sensitivities. Open communication between the Au pair or nanny and the parents is crucial to ensure everyone is aligned on the child’s care and development.
An important aspect is understanding and implementing visual structures and routines to support the child’s daily activities. Being mindful of the child’s sensory needs is also essential, as adjustments may be needed to accommodate sensory sensitivities and preferred activities. Ensuring safety is another key consideration, especially since some neurodivergent children might be prone to wandering or engaging in unsafe behaviours; thus, creating a secure environment is vital.
Patience and adaptability are important traits, allowing you to adjust to the child’s pace and evolving needs. Consistent positive reinforcement and clear consequences are also effective in managing behaviours and fostering positive outcomes.
