Upcoming Events
Target Audience: Occupational Therapists
Self- regulation is a learned, developmental skill and is a key building block which underpins a child’s ability to mature emotionally, cognitively and socially. It directly influences a child’s occupational performance in self-care, academic and social participation. Increasingly, occupational therapists are asked to provide an understanding of challenges to self-regulation experienced by children and offer suggestions for strategies which may enhance their participation across the tasks they want and need to do.
Target Audience: Occupational Therapists
Students with learning difficulties, are often challenged by deficits with regard to their executive function skills, that contribute to their performance across a variety of school-based occupations. Using an occupational performance framework, this practical workshop will assist Occupational Therapists to work in strong partnership with teachers, to maximise learning opportunities for these students through scaffolded and systematic instructional approaches.
Target Audience: Occupational Therapists
This evidenced-based workshop will enhance understanding and skills related to assessing, diagnosing and designing effective strength-based interventions for Developmental Coordination Disorder
(DCD).
Target Audience: Occupational Therapists
Occupational therapists have a unique role in supporting infant performance and participation in daily activities and routines. The role is well supported by an increasing body of evidence in the areas of family centered care, interactive approaches, and the understanding of successful interventions for this age group. This practical workshop aims to assist clinicians clinical reasoning for engaging with this population
Intervention Workshop
Target Audience: Occupational Therapists
This 4 day workshop will provide participants with skills/knowledge with regard to intervention using the PRPP (attendance at a PRPP Assessment workshop is a prerequisite). The Perceive: Recall: Plan and Perform System (PRPP) is a process-oriented, criterion referenced assessment that employs task analysis methods to determine problems with cognitive information processing component function during routine, task or subtask performance. The PRPP System is for use with adults and children who have difficulty performing daily tasks. It is suitable for adults and children of either sex and from any cultural background.
Target Audience: Occupational Therapists and Speech Pathologists
Play is an important measure of children’s development, as it encompasses emotional, social, cognitive and language aspects. It develops in layers of complexity over time, influencing all aspects of child development. This workshop is provided in two modules:
Assessment Module - the assessment module will focus on clinician’s being able to observe a child’s play; and understand and interpret this information within the child’s family, social and cultural systems.
Intervention Module - this module will provide participants with a clinical reasoning framework for the inclusion of play in therapy sessions; as well as skills/strategies to design and implement intervention programs that will develop children’s pretend play skills.
Target Audience: Occupational Therapists
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to identify aspects of inefficient sensory processing which involves poor registration of proximal (“body”) sensory inputs and use sensory processing, neuroscience and occupational performance theory to explain these disorders.
