In this highly interactive course you will have an opportunity to experience and explore person centred approaches for the work you will do with children and adults with disabilities. We'll delve into a deeper understanding of behaviour as communication and develop a keen sense of respectful service that honours both the individual you are supporting and the context in which that support is offered.
This course is designed to encourage you to become clearer about how your support philosophy will show up in positive ways in your work. We'll also explore issues related to social skillfulness, abuse prevention and the ethics of touch. And we'll practice the art and science of documentation as we write about it all.
