F.S.S. Special Needs Training

WHAT is FSS Special Needs TRAINING (FSS-SNT) ? 

It is a training to deep dive into the understanding and awareness of special needs through the lens of the Forest School Singapore Approach, so that we can learn to build communities in our society for our friends and families with special needs, that are capable of empowering others. Forest School will be the medium / platform for us to be able to go deeper. The Element of Special Needs will be the core focus in this training.

Darren and Genevieve will be co-trainers with Joselin in this Training.

WHY we do this

Forest School Singapore Special Needs Training (FSS-SNT) is made to build a community that helps to integrate every special need in an empowering way, that is not based on pity or undermining the potential of an individual.

WHAT is the focus ?

🌱 Behaviour : Learn about the FSS approach and how it enables better understanding of others.
🫳 Sensory : Develop a sense of place that is in rhythm with the space
Relationship : Build a capacity to connect and grow with your community.

HOW will it look like ?

Day 1 : FOREST SCHOOL APPROACH Self awareness & Context
We will spend the morning using our hands to get into the zone of learning, by doing some Nature crafts together, followed by some grounding sharing. In the afternoon, we will learn about the FSS Approach and take some time to be present with our mind, in building the connection to the learning journey here.

Day 2 : SPACE & SENSE Increase Capacity to ‘read’ the rhythm
We will dive deep into the external aspect of Forest School in terms of Environment & Risk through an experiential morning trekking through a dense Forest, that will open our senses to the space that we take in life and work. The afternoon will be gently grounded through learnings and understandings into the sensories, in flow with the morning.

Day 3 : CHILDREN & BEHAVIOUR Develop understandings for the methods
We will spend the whole day, going into situational and role-playing experiential learning, to expand and share the different elements that trigger and create the behaviours that we face from our children and the individuals with special needs that we work with. Various approaches and methods will be exchanged during this part of the training by the Trainers as well.
