This one-day workshop focuses on developing critical thinking skills around introducing powered mobility to young children with mobility restrictions. It describes evidence-based principals related to on-time mobility and other frameworks to enhance developmental outcomes and participation for infants and children. Assessments related to powered mobility skills will be presented and practiced, as well as a structured approach to progression of these driving skills. The workshop will draw on coaching principals and family-centred practice to discuss barriers and facilitators of introducing powered mobility in this age group, taking in a wholistic view of individual family context. There will be case studies practical demonstrations and attendees will have opportunities to apply learned knowledge and problem solving.
Fundamental Paediatric Practice
This informative seminar focuses on developing clinical skills in assessment, analysis and treatment planning for children with developmental disorders. It enhances integration of knowledge into clinical practice to support enhanced outcomes for children accessing early intervention and therapeutic supports.
This seminar draws upon experiences in your current practice and provides the tools to further analyse the child’s capacity, family situation and contextual factors, expanding knowledge and practice into additional areas.
Current frameworks and best practice guidelines for early intervention are used for assessment, goal setting and treatment planning. Effective knowledge translation is supported by small group work, discussion, case examples and video analysis.

Clinical Decision-Making Masterclass Kids+ Paediatric Program
Come and learn from, and with, experienced paediatric therapists how to develop a systematic process for clinical decision-making to enhance your capabilities to develop tailored, evidence-based interventions. The workshop will draw upon case examples and video analysis from the group to facilitate translation of knowledge back to the clinical setting.
Clinical decision-making requires clinicians to analyse and interpret information from a range of sources and consider multiple and intersecting variables. Experienced practitioners are expected to weigh up information and make decisions quickly in everyday practice situations.
