This LSA role will place you in challenging, sometimes anti-social contexts that will build your foundational experience. With this LSA role, de-escalation and the language around it are incredibly important.
Restorative and holistic practices are in place; pragmatism and positive reinforcement will be key skills in this LSA role in Watford. The role specializes in working with students who have Autism, Asperger's, OCD, Global Development Delay, and some profound and multiple learning difficulties. The children you will be supporting are between the ages of 11-19 and all have EHCPs for their Autism and SEMH, requiring continued education in either supported living or college.
