Making Therapy Work: Workshop

When families are told their child needs therapy, it can feel urgent to start straight away. Many parents feel pressure to do as much as possible, and worry about getting it right. However, research shows that the time you spend with your child is actually what makes the biggest difference.  

This workshop will give you practical strategies to use therapy to support your child, and the confidence to make it work for your family. 

You’ll learn 

• Different ways to use therapy to fit around your family’s life 

• The important role you play in supporting your child’s development 

• Who is on your child's team, and how to work together  

• What matters most to your family, and how to turn this into meaningful goals  

You'll also be introduced to the new National Framework for Best Practice in Early Childhood Intervention.

Who is this session for 

• This workshop is for parents and carers living in Australia who are raising children with disability, developmental delay, Autism, rare and genetic conditions and high medical needs.  

• This is not for professionals. 

At Belongside, trained parent peer facilitators deliver all of our workshops. They understand what it is like to raise a child with disability, because they are parents and carers too. Our peer facilitators combine this lived experience with an understanding of evidence-based and best practice approaches, so support is helpful in everyday family life.
