LASER

An Introduction to the

Low Arousal Supports Educational Resilience (LASER) Approach

We are excited to announce this one-day training event in Denmark for the first time.  The LASER Approach was developed by Studio III by their Education Advisor, Gareth D Morewood.

The LASER Approach consists of eight sections that are designed to be delivered as a personalised approach for any setting where education is provided: maybe the home, specialist centres or mainstream schools.  Additional coaching and support allow a culture change, depending upon the individual needs identified.

The main elements of the LASER Approach fuse the critically acclaimed Saturation Model (Morewood et al, 2011) with Low Arousal Approaches, in the following eight areas:

• Section 1: Stress and Well-being (of staff and for young people including the PERMA model)
• Section 2: Whole-School Approaches (including The Saturation Model and co-production)
• Section 3: Inclusion (including inclusive pedagogy, classroom structures and routines)
• Section 4: Low Arousal Approaches (focus on key elements of Low Arousal)
• Section 5: Reducing Restrictive Practices (including practical alternatives)
• Section 6: De-Escalation (developing and embedding structures, practice and policy)
• Section 7: Being a Reflective Practitioner (how to develop this as part of a systems approach)
• Section 8: Developing metacognition and self-regulation (including Stress Support Plans/Passports)

This event will be a one-day introduction and is suitable for colleagues who consider them experienced practitioners and those new to Low Arousal Approaches as well.  It is also encouraged for families to attend as a strong element of this work is co-production and joint school-home working.
