Inclusion using the Low Arousal Approach - Pooky talks to Gareth Morewood
Channel: Pooky Knightsmith Mental Health
Date: 2019-02-22

I recently found myself in the enviable position of spending time with Gareth Morewood, my go to source of advice for all things SEND as we were both speaking at the same event in Dubai.  We made a couple of videos together including this one in which I quiz Gareth about the low arousal approach and how this can help us to create an inclusive environment for pupils with a range of special or additional needs in a mainstream setting.  Gareth was a real font of knowledge on the topic and his practical, pragmatic suggestions will, I hope, be helpful and inspiring for many of you.
