Emotional Literacy Support and Advice
ELSA is an initiative developed and supported by educational psychologists.
It recognises that children learn better and are happier in school if their emotional needs are being met.
An Elsa is a qualified teaching assistant that has been trained by an educational psychologist to plan and deliver purposeful intervention of support to pupils who are experiencing temporary or longer additional emotional needs.
The majority of these sessions are delivered on an individual basis, however sometimes small group work is more appropriate, especially in areas of social and friendship skills.
