Use positive behavior management and de-escalation strategies to create a safe, reassuring classroom environment.
Assist with emotional and sensory regulation, helping pupils navigate their school day calmly and confidently.
Collaborate closely with class teachers, Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs), and parents to track and report on student progress.
