Use of Motional assessment

Motional - online tool 

Sherwood Area Partnership uses the Motional tool to identify, assess and improve emotional health and wellbeing of children we work with. It is based on Jaak Panskepp's research on emotional systems in the brain and Margot Sunderland's research around executive functioning skills. It records Adverse Childhood Experiences and Protective Factor Scores and gives us a whole brain picture of a child's mental health and wellbeing.
