What does Best Practice Therapy look like in ECEC: ECEC Webinar Series

Integrating early intervention into everyday activities in early childhood education and care (ECEC) can make therapy more effective. It can also foster your child's inclusion, while empowering educators to confidently meet their needs. 
 

Join us to learn what best practice therapy looks like in an ECEC setting. Discover evidence-based approaches and how therapists can collaborate with educators to promote your child’s engagement and development. In this session, a therapist and a parent will share their insights and real-life experiences, showcasing strategies that make therapy effective and supportive in an ECEC environment, helping your child thrive.
