About the CPD course
How to Work with Children with Developmental Disabilities.
Part 2 covers the key areas for supporting the development of children with Developmental Disabilities and includes working with caregivers.
This course should be delivered to individuals who already have the knowledge contained in Part 1. The 6 days of live training should be followed by ongoing supervision from a qualified therapist. Based on video clips of the trainees and children they are supporting, the supervisor can provide guidance and feedback on child profiling, goal-setting and on how the trainee works with caregivers to support the children in specified activities of daily living. Trainees should also be required to maintain a clinical log.
