Restorative practice and special needs

Restorative Practice (RP) is an effective approach to discipline that has the potential to transform behaviour by focusing on building and restoring relationships. This practical guide explains how to implement restorative approaches with young people with special needs in educational or residential settings. Through informative case studies, the authors look at how RP can be adapted for those with additional needs such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. ADHD and Intellectual Disability. They provide additional guidance on particular areas of difficulty for professional such as staff crises, the issue of physical restraint and how to support parents.
