Energy Accounting is a helpful strategy for Autistic young people. It uses the idea of a bank account, where the withdrawals and deposits are energy rather than money. A battery analogy can also be used at times. Many autistic people find this idea useful as it provides a way of thinking about managing stress and energy levels. Professionals can also use this to consider the ‘drains’ and ‘gains’ that a pupil may be experiencing at school and how to support using this strategy.<\/p>\n
The Neuroinclusive Support Team (NST) provide Autistic Energy Accounting training which is advertised on a regular basis on Oracle. As part of this training, NST have put together a support pack with planning documents to support creating an energy account with a learner. Energy Accounting Support Pack<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
