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.

Clinical Decision-Making Masterclass Kids+ Paediatric Program

  • Kids Plus Centre for Therapy Research and Training (Building LX Deakin University) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

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.
