Intuitive and user-friendly, SNAP-Behaviour brings to social, emotional and behavioural difficulties the insights and practical strategies which the original award-winning SNAP brought to specific learning difficulties. Version2 now provides a new 'compare' facility to help you monitor progress over time.
SNAP-Behaviour is a computer-aided package which 'maps' a pupil's own mix of problems on to an overall matrix of social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. Designed for ages 5 to 16, it enables the special needs coordinator or learning support team to make a structured assessment that pulls together information from home and school. Carefully-targeted questions identify clusters and patterns of behaviours, yielding a twelve-strand profile of key problem areas under three broad headings:
- relationship with self - anxiety, anger, etc.
- relationship with peers - aggression, attention-seeking, etc.
- relationship with adults - attention-seeking, defiance, etc.
There is also an optional self-esteem assessment.
SNAP-Behaviour
- maps a pupil's own mix of problems on to a twelve-strand profile of social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.
- enables school staff to be more focused and effective in supporting pupils at home and at school.
- provides a mechanism for actively involving parents in assessment and follow-up.
- generates personalised help-sheets giving practical advice and coping strategies for class teachers and parents, now linked to SEAL outcomes.
- focuses upon identifying and reinforcing the social and personal skills a pupil needs to be successful.
- helps you track each pupil's progress.
SNAP Behaviour generates personalised information sheets giving down-to-earth, practical advice and intervention strategies to classroom teachers and to parents - without the over-emphasis on adult control that ultimately prevents pupils taking responsibility for their own behaviour.
SNAP Behaviour focuses on the specific personal and social skills a pupil needs to be successful, and how to develop and reinforce these skills, rather than possible underlying causes of any behaviour. Individual Education Plan (IEPs) can then be significantly more directed and effective.
