You mentioned around 34:00 that IEP and SMART targets have been shown by research not to work and are overly burdensome, and that this is why the Code refers to outcomes instead. Could you link me to some of the research on this please?
Hi Andrew, thank you for your comment. I have contacted Angela and she has provided some more information in a separate document which you can find here: www.sendgateway.org.uk/resources/webinar-using-graduated-approach-and-sen-support
An anxiety based demand avoidant presentation can mean that neurotypical behaviour management techniques, such as sanctions and rewards, prove counter-productive. The PDA Society Website has information on more suitable methods .
Undiagnosed children, presenting with internalised anxiety based demand avoidance, are experiencing autistic burnout as a result of unmet need. This is largely due to autistic 'masking' in school, especially amongst 'academically high achievers '. Yes: they achieve well academically...until they reach burnout and their attendance plummets! Please please please train staff in approaches to Pathological Demand Avoidance !
