Reintegration
Before thinking about a reintegration plan you should have begun working through the various resources within the toolkit to:
-
Create a shared narrative with the child’s parents
-
Establish a rapport with the child
-
Map out their preferred future and their aspirations
-
Establish the risk and protective factors for the child
-
Understand the factors underpinning their individual EBSA
Designing a successful reintegration plan is contingent on us having a good enough understanding of what underpins an individual child’s EBSA.
A good reintegration plan:
-
Is child-led and reinforced by parents/carers and school
-
Is informed by what the child finds difficult and not necessarily by timetables or other contextual restrictions
-
Progresses methodically from what the child finds the least to the most difficult
-
Has small enough steps for habituation to occur before progressing
-
Is supplemented by direct teaching and practice of anxiety management techniques
