An ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) is a specialist teaching assistant with a wealth of experience of working with children to support their emotional needs. ELSAs are trained and regularly supervised by the Educational Psychologists in your Local education authority. An ELSA is a warm and caring person who wants to help your child feel happy in school and to reach their potential educationally. Their aim is to remove the barriers to learning and to have happy children in school and at home.
