Target Audience: Occupational Therapists

Sleep is essential for a person’s health and wellbeing. It plays a crucial role in our body and brain’s physiological maintenance. Occupational therapists have a unique role in identifying sleep disturbance, as part of their assessment of an individual and family’s daily activity routines, participation and occupational performance. This workshop will outline various ways Occupational Therapists can assist children and families to promote and support children's sleep.

Target Audience: Occupational Therapists and Speech Pathologists This workshop will be provided in 2 modules. Module 1 - (one day) will provide therapists with an ability to "refresh" or gain knowledge with regard to understanding “typical” play deficits seen in children and the assessment of a child's play development (including use of the Symbolic and Imaginative Play Developmental Checklist). This workshop will be practical with case studies to illustrate examples of how play can be understood during assessment. Module 2 - (two days) through the use of case studies, participants will be provided with a clinical reasoning framework based on an advanced understanding of the Learn to Play Therapy, as well as skills/strategies to implement intervention programmes for a variety of clinical groups/clinical environments. Units covered include: Play and Autism Play in Schools (ie developing early literacy skills and linking play to the National Curriculum) Transdisciplinary Play intervention Play with children with a history of Trauma/Abuse. Participants will be able to attend a three day workshop combining Modules one and two. Or alternatively if participants have previously attended a Developing Effective Pretend Play they are able to attend Module 2 only.
