The Empowerment Approach teaches everyone:

1 ▪ About the brain and how it works in a way that

everyone can understand (not just adults).

▪ To know their needs and find helpful ways to meet them.
2 ▪ To be able to let others know their needs in positive ways.

▪ To find out the needs of others and help them to feel good too.

▪ To discover their strengths and areas their brain finds harder.
3 ▪ To build the skills and work out the scaffolds needed to learn

and play at their best - even when their needs aren’t met.

4 ▪ How to prepare to be at their best for learning and play in ways
that are: ‘Good for me, good for you, good for everyone’.

5 ▪ The best way to react and help someone to get back on track

when things go wrong.

6 ▪ How to follow-up and problem-solve so a person can manage
better next time and make good ongoing progress.
