Description

As a global world much have changed, including our expectations on child development. Our lives are fast paced, focused to produce and the drive to achieving success is ever present. How do our children keep up with this pace? How do we know what to focus on? How do we equip them as therapists, educators, and parents to be the best version of themselves and achieve to their highest capability? One aspect that does not change is how children develop. This workshop series is designed to provide clear and effective tools, tips and ideas on several areas of child development. It is equally appropriate for children with no developmental delays as well as children who experience delays and are struggling to keep up. In her heart-warming way, Maude explains difficult concepts in clear ways that will leave professionals and parents feeling equipped and empowered to create effective change in children. Even as the “why” is explained, the focus will remain on practical ideas and layers of different thoughts. The topics of each day will also include checklists for assessment to drive the goals for intervention. And, as always, Maude will be discussing these topics based on the current research to support the intervention ideas. This is a workshop series not to be missed!
