Case Studies

Case Study 1

“Child A has selective mutism and only talks at home with her dad. At present we are looking at ways to develop her confidence in communication skills within the setting. During the Twitch programme, child A really started to get involved with the actions as well as the extensions, such as role play set up in the classroom on week 3. During the story sessions, child A benefited in seeing intonation of the new words introduced and started to copy their peers. From this, it helped her confidence in joining in with those around her, as she could take what she had learnt expressively and use it to initiate the set play around the story.” 

Case Study 2

“At the start of the programme we had a staff member who was not overly enthusiastic about delivering the programme due to confidence and having the roleplay. To help several more confident practitioners did a master class on each section and then encouraged the staff member to try various ideas herself. Our TWiTCH Coach also came and provided a demonstration, which provided valuable insight. From this, the staff member’s delivery has improved overall.”
