The 5P Approach to Flexibility
The 5P Approach to Flexibility
About this course: This is a practical one day course & workshop which looks at the complex issue of Flexibility or flexible thinking in autism and related disorders and at the implications of poor flexibility for learning and independence. The course looks at all the elements of development associated with flexibility and outlines an overall approach to intervention using the 5P Approach Framework. It introduces a unique assessment and planning tool, the 5P Approach to Flexibility, and provides a wealth of useful strategies to support individuals to learn skills and overcome the difficulties caused by poor flexibility. There is also a focus on the links between poor flexibility and behaviour issues – using the 5P Approach to look at how to prevent behaviour problems from arising and how to problem-solve any issues that arise.
The 5P Approach and Flexibility: The 5P Approach was introduced in Linda's first book Practical Behaviour Management Solutions for Children and Teens with Autism (Miller, 2009, Jessica Kingsley publ.). It provides a complete framework for behaviour intervention which has its roots in prevention and good practice, with an emphasis on promoting and encouraging the development of skills and independence. Over recent years, the 5P Approach has developed and expanded and Linda's second book "Developing Flexibility Skills in Children and Teens with Autism - the 5P Approach to Thinking, Learning and Behaviour" published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers in March 2013 looks specifically at this area.
How is the 5P Approach linked to Flexibility? The development of flexibility or addressing a flexibility “issue” is often found within behaviour management programmes (i.e. reacting to a problem) rather than within a specialist curriculum or individual learning programme (i.e. preventing and pre-empting a problem). In other words, the emphasis is often on reacting to the effects of poor flexibility rather than on the direct teaching of flexibility skills. The 5P Approach to behaviour intervention places an emphasis on prevention (GREEN) and problem-solving.
Who Should Attend? This course is suitable for anyone interested in learning more about behaviour intervention and autism. The Introductory course is particularly suitable for teachers, psychologists and professionals working with children and young people on the autistic spectrum. The approach can easily be used within the mainstream school setting or home and care setting
Delegates attending all 5P Approach courses will have the opportunity to purchase a copy of Linda’s books “Practical Behaviour Management Solutions for Children and Teens with Autism – the 5P Approach” and “Developing Flexibility Skills in Children & Teens with Autism – the 5P Approach to Thinking, Learning & Behaviour on the day at a reduced cost..
