[senco-forum] behaviour mentor / TA

Firstly, many thnks to everyone who copied me in to their advice on social  
stories.

We are in the process of recruitin g for the above post.  I feel  I have the 
opportunity to influence how we use this preson if I am proactive  with ideas, 
so am hopibng some of you will have some suggestions....  The  person we are 
appointing has fair amoun t of SEN experience - specifically ASD,  and part of 
her time willbe supporting a specific child.  There are also a  couple of 
other childrenwho may benefit from 1: 1 support, plus she will be  helping  a bit 
in a couple of PPA sessions, plus lunchtimes - perhaps  setting up clubs as 
alternative to the rough and tumble of the great outdoors,  and a speech and 
language / social skills group.

More than a TA, we want her to be proactive in developing positive  behaviour 
across school... am worried as sounds vague, don't wan t her to become  just 
another "body" or the behaviour police....

So if anyone has a similar person, what sort of things do they do?  I  will 
be supporting her, so she will actually have some power to affect  change.

Sorry about tupos as have broken finger!
