Pathway to Independence

Don’t leave children dependent on scaffolds for too long – plan a pathway

to independence.

1. Plan out the steps to independence with the child – the Dopamine Dots (see toolkit).

2. Work out the scaffolds needed at each stage.

3. Make sure the child and all adults are clear on the end goal – from the start.
