Restorative Practices And Behaviour Education

A child’s ability to successfully engage in a restorative approach develops in line with their ability to reason. ‘The
Visual Script’ has been developed as a modified version of the original Restorative Practice Conference Script.

It has been designed to support the following groups:

• Children in the Early Years (K – 2)
• Children with Special Needs (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Language Disorders)
• Children who have experienced trauma
• Children from Generational Poverty
• Some boys

The Visual Script aims to support these groups by:

• Helping them to identify and express their feelings and thoughts,
  and understand those expressed by others. (expressive and
  receptive language)
• Providing them a concrete aid to help them follow what may be
  an abstract process.
• Providing the facilitator with language that is brief, clear and concise.
