Our mission is to train Specialist Climbing Calm instructors all over the world in our evidence based programme. In doing so, we can empower thousands of children with Autism with the strategies to manage anxiety and develop social communication skills.
To be eligible to train as a Climbing Calm instructor you must have at least one years post qualification experience working with children at a climbing wall. Our training programme is split into two parts- the first and second day covers the 'Certificate in Therapeutic Skills for Climbing Instructors' which provides you with theoretical and therapeutic training required to deliver the programme. The final day provides you with the the specific skills and resources to become a Climbing Calm instructor.
Day one covers strategies to support children with Autism and other learning disabilities, including Signing and use of Communication tools such as Visual timetables and symbols. Day two explores using psychological theory to support children's Mental Health and Day 3 takes place at the climbing wall including direct training of the Climbing Calm programme.
