Behaviour Doesn’t Define A Person
How my belief in Sam changed his belief in himself
“This evening Sam was calmer and more balanced in his view. He said he spoke to you and you helped him see a bit of sense.” - Mum
There is always a reason for behaviour, but it takes time, effort and a willingness to understand, to find that reason.
Sam has been stereotyped as a badly behaved, disruptive teenage boy. Behaviour points, sending out and detentions are the norm for him at school. But that isn’t the Sam I see.
Sitting still is hard. So we don’t sit still.
Staying on topic is tricky. So we swap and change between conversations.
Concentrating on one thing is a struggle. So we have a beanbag to keep our hands busy while we write.
These are not enormous adaptations, but they have an enormous impact on Sam’s ability to learn.
“His Maths teacher has noticed a difference in his ability to attempt more challenging Maths questions in class.” - Mum
We have removed the notation that Maths is about an answer and started looking at how we approach and unpick a problem. Focusing on Sam’s strengths and tailoring methods to utilise these strengths has made Maths accessible to Sam.
