Visual Scripts: Early Years Restorative Practices

A child’s ability to successfully engage in a restorative approach develops in line with their ability to reason.

These cards have been designed to support the following groups:

• Children in the Early Years
• Children with Special Needs (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Language Disorders)
• Children who have experienced trauma

• providing a concrete aid to help them follow an abstract process.
• providing facilitator with language that is brief and clear
