ELSA - Supporting Emotional Literacy
The ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) project was originally developed by Educational Psychologist, Sheila Burton. It was designed to build the capacity of schools to support the emotional needs of their pupils from within their own resources. It recognises that children learn better and are happier in school if their emotional needs are also addressed.
ELSA is an initiative developed and supported by educational psychologists who apply psychological knowledge of children’s social and emotional development to particular areas of need and to specific casework.
