Description

This course provides participants with an overview of children’s physical, emotional and cognitive development as well as the influence of culture, parenting and attachment on their healthy development.

Practitioners will understand the implications of a child’s disability on their development and they will enhance their ability to understand children who have both a disability and a difficulty in communicating. They will gain knowledge about how language is learned and how this learning can be enhanced so that children can maximise their ability to communicate.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore what is considered ‘normal ‘development and to recognise and understand how children’s experiences can be reflected in their behaviour. The training will also explore the role of child development in the care planning process and how information relating to children’s development can inform decision-making in relation to risk and parenting capacity.

This course is delivered by our expert facilitators who will bring their first hand experience and tailor the course to suit your learning needs.
