BOUNCE Approach®Free WebinarOn-DemandND-Affirming

Introduction to The BOUNCE Approach®

A free 45-minute webinar covering the core principles of The BOUNCE Approach® — a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming framework for understanding what’s really happening underneath a child’s behaviour.


Anxiety, overwhelm, refusal, meltdown, shutdown — these aren’t behaviours to fix. They’re messages from a nervous system doing its best to keep a child safe, even when the outside world can’t see what it’s responding to. The problem is that most adults don’t have a framework for understanding what they’re looking at. And most children don’t have a language for what they’re feeling.

The BOUNCE Approach® gives both sides what they need. For the adult: a lens for reading what’s actually happening underneath the behaviour. For the child: a shared language for their own internal states, and a route back to regulation when they need one. This introduction covers the core principles — how BOUNCE works, what the Whole Child Approach looks like in practice, and why meeting individual needs matters more than managing surface behaviour.

Suitable for parents, carers, foster carers, teachers, teaching assistants, SENCOs, therapists, social workers, and anyone supporting children with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma, neurodivergence, or attachment needs. No prior knowledge assumed — this is the foundation every other CTS training builds on.

Also Included

📋 Introduction to Snapshots

A practical guide to using Child Therapy Service Snapshots — what they measure, how to use them, and how to track meaningful change over time so you can evidence the impact of your work.

Objectives

Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, you will be able to:

1

Understand the BOUNCE framework end to end

The five states, the nervous system science underneath, and how BOUNCE fits alongside Polyvagal Theory, attachment theory, and trauma-informed practice. You leave with the shared language every other CTS training builds on.

2

See the whole child, not just the behaviour

Stress, sensory needs, attachment experiences, and environment all shape what shows up on the surface. The Whole Child lens keeps you from reducing a nervous system response to a behaviour problem — and opens up the real pathways to support.

3

Meet the need underneath the behaviour

Dysregulation is a symptom, not a cause. Once you can read the nervous system state and the environment together, you can address what’s actually driving the distress — not just the form it’s taking on the surface.
