SERVICE-LEARNING PROJECT
MAY 2019-JUNE 2019
Student Facilitator and Volunteer
This service-learning project assigns my team and me to work with primary school children in the Student Care Center.
​
We conducted 3 sessions using behavioural modification techniques based on impulse control as we noticed that they get distracted often and some children do exhibit impulsive behaviours.
​
Lastly, we ensure that they understand the messages behind the activities and put them to good use.
