The wonderful thing about our
interactive and multisensory approach is that it is specifically
designed to increase the attention, and the retention, of students
who don't cope well with normal classrooms. School after school has
commented on our ability to engage usually disinterested
classes.
Beyond offering tactile and audio-visual
inputs, and roleplays, to grab the attention of students who get
turned off by traditional 'blackboard' teaching, many of our
techniques also work better for the students who often require
classroom aides in normal situations.
In fact we now request schools on our
teacher information forms to help us help the
students:
Special needs: if any student is likely
to have specific difficulty participating in activities, or to
respond significantly differently from standard expectations,
please inform the presenter by the start of the relevant
presentation. Such information will used for the comfort and
educational participation of students in accordance with Victorian
Privacy guidelines.
Our presenters are trained to include
every member of the class to the maximum extent possible. Any
information you provide which helps our presenters maximise such
participation can only improve the class experience and the
learning process.
I just wanted to pass on my thanks for a
wonderful presentation yesterday. The girls thoroughly enjoyed all
4 parts of the presentation. They found the presenters engaging and
leaned a lot. Supervising staff were all complimentary. Karen
