The SCERTS Model - An Introduction
Course Description
This course will introduce the SCERTS model, a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary educational approach designed for children with autism and related social and emotional learning differences. This model is not exclusive of other approaches and methodologies, but provides a framework for those who are seeking guidelines for implementing a comprehensive educational plan that is based on our knowledge of the core developmental challenges faced by children with social emotional learning differences, family-centred care, and our knowledge of the recommended tenets of educational programming. The model was designed to provide guidelines for helping children progress through the stages of becoming a competent social communicator. It was also designed to provide families and educational teams with the help they may need to feel successful in supporting the child, writing goals and monitoring progress over time.
