The Whole Child Lens: A Clinical Conversation (Online)

What people are saying about this event:

“I feel so honoured to have been part of the group and in the presence of such amazing minds.”

“ It was really wonderful to be a part of it. “

“It is always inspiring to listen to such experienced and passionate OT’s, and would be lovely to do again”.

“It was just what I needed”.

“…..resonated with my own understanding of that holism, reflected in a “roomful” of other OT’s”

Each child is a whole, unique being: Body, Mind and Spirit.

As such, each child and family’s journey is different.

As therapists, we are often asked to support children with their ability to perform functional activities that are expected of them- eating, dressing, handwriting, toileting, sleeping. 

We are often asked to help with “behaviour management”- meltdowns, aggressive behaviour, poor self-regulation, absconding, refusing to go to school.

We are asked to support the development of social skills- communication, sharing, turn-taking, waiting, participating in group time, being part of a sporting team.

We are asked to support cognitive development- attention, planning, organising, sequencing, evaluating, problem solving, academic and pre-academic achievement.

Are you ready to think outside the box to expand your approach to supporting families?  

Join Kim Barthel, Sheila Frick, Teresa May-Benson, Tracy Stackhouse and Kaya Lyons as they engage in a clinical discussion, sharing their experience, knowledge and perspectives on assessing and treating The Whole Child.

A recording will be available after the event and accessible for 30 days.
