SAMA Description |
| |
The SAMA program focuses on preventing aggression from becoming physically
harmful. The emphasis of the course is on using the Assisting Process in all
interactions and is demonstrated in all four programs.
The course presents information and demonstrations of four video tapes.
Using the Facilitator Manual, a certified facilitator leads participants
through skills practice followed by performance assessments at the end of
each program.

Protection of Self and Others: Viewing Time 20:04 |
 |
Containment: Viewing Time 13:18 |

Object Retrieval: Viewing Time 4:16 |

The Facilitator Manual uses an interactive question/demonstration/exercise/practice/assessment format for each of the
four programs. It contains masters for the Study Guide that is given to each
participant, transparencies, and assessment instruments. Each of the skills
presented on the videos is broken down in the manual along with special
guidelines for safe practice and key points to reinforce.
The Study Guide for participants includes the principles of the program, a
breakdown of each skill in the Assisting Process, a breakdown of each
physical skill, exercises to increase learning, key concepts for safety when
applying protection, containment and object retrieval skills.
The recommended class size is an eight to one ratio of participants to
facilitators. |
