Kerry Shaw Msc Description
As a qualified behaviour specialist with over 15 years’ experience, I provide behaviour intervention for children aged between 2 – 19 years of age who have an Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). I have worked as a one to one therapist and also as a case supervisor presiding over a small team of therapists.
My main focus is to help families whose lives are affected by a wide range of behavioural challenges associated with autism. I teach how to implement appropriate strategies which in turn encourage the development of positive behaviours. Below are typical areas of work.
Development of: -
Early Learning skills – sitting, looking, attending, listening & responding
Age Appropriate Play skills
Self Help skills – toileting, dressing, personal care & hygiene
Social & Emotional awareness
Communication & Language skills
Community Independence skills
Management of: -
Challenging Behaviours including aggression

Sessions are tailored specifically to work around family life and can be carried out in a variety of settings including the home and out in the Community where appropriate. Follow up support can be provided where necessary.
My overall aim is to provide parents /families with the necessary tools to support their child’s behavioural and emotional needs, in order that they may lead a positive, meaningful & enjoyable life.

Reassurance, praise and a sense of calm go a long way... 🙏
The sensory overwhelm that we should always consider if a behaviour appears to 'come out of nowhere' 🙏
Poor interoception is so very common amongst individuals with autism. Where it does not come as a natural instinct, it is our job to implement strategies to help teach the notion and it's associations.
"Every child's need is different, every child is unique and as such we individualise our teaching to support the learning of each and every one of them."
Some great tips on how to expand emotional knowledge and understanding...
Time to renew our First Aid qualification. Thank you to my amazing staff for giving up your next few Saturdays!!!
Just this.... ❤️
A new year = a refreshed opportunity for us to set stepping stones to progress. With belief in our children, we give them the power to achieve the extraordinary 🙏 Happy New Year everyone, let's start as we mean to go on!
Let's take this festive period to sit back and celebrate everything that our children have achieved this year. It's been a fantastic year! Thank you to parents and all staff - our children succeed because of the amazing teams enveloping each of them! 🙏 Behaviour Skills finish tomorrow (20th Dec) and will be back to work on 6th January 2020 so for now, rest up, relax and we'll look forward to seeing you all in the New Year! Wishing you all a peaceful and joyful Christmas🎄
Festive craft ideas for our child (and parent) crafters!🎄 These activities incorporate a wealth of skill development: *communication and language expansion (asking for the things they need step by step); *independence (following a sequence of visual instructions); *concentration ....to name but a few! 😀
I can’t believe how fast this year has gone!! Merry Christmas to all of these fabulous Mums and invaluable staff (and of course to all those who couldn’t join us last night) xx
One of our motos here at Behaviour Skills 😀
When a child is expressing any emotion, in order to help them understand it we can label it for them i.e. "I can see you're feeling sad" and then give them the gentle support they need in that moment. This will begin to build the pathway for emotional self-regulation later down the line 🙂
*JOB VACANCY UPDATED * I am looking to employ a Behaviour Mentor to join my team. This role is part-time consisting of term time hours in the main, based within the Harrogate area (potential availability of extra hours in the school holidays if wanted). You would be working 1:1 within homes & schools but also out in the community where appropriate. If you have previous experience in working with children with an Autism Spectrum Condition or other special educational need, including language delay & emotional-behavioural needs, then this could be the role for you! The role offers a competitive rate of pay. For further information and full job description, please email admin@behaviourskills.co.uk. The closing date for applications is 13th January 2020.
Whether your child is non-verbal or verbal, communication in whatever form is key to their independence. Let's instigate communication whenever we can.
"I'm simply me!" ❤️
I See You 🙏
