This course will start by giving you an overview of some of the common types and causes of learning disabilities, characteristics and behaviours and how they affect people. We will consider which learning & behavioural strategies are appropriate and how using a person centred approach to care will get the best results and ensure that needs of the individual are effectively met. We also discuss overcoming the stigma attached to learning disabilities

This full day workshop is designed to follow on and build on the learning from the 1-hour webinar to provide an embedded learning experience leading to acceptance and change of culture around neurodiversity. We understand the pressure managers can experience working within a neurodiverse team, this training is designed with managers in mind.

This half-day workshop delivered face-to-face or online is designed for anyone in your organisation that wants to become a Neurodiversity Champion - someone who wants to educate and change the way that Neurodiversity is viewed in the workplace.

The aim of this 1-hour session is to increase your understanding of neurodiversity and to learn how to properly support neurodiverse individuals in the workplace and more importantly help to unlock their huge potential.

Primitive reflexes are the foundation on which our entire nervous system is built! As we develop, our brain learns to integrate them, thus leading to more complex developmental stages. In developmental delays and disorders, as well as in brain injury, this process may be interrupted. Any Professional working with children or a parent interested in improving their child's care should know about these reflexes and how to integrate them. Join us on a full-day seminar with Dr. Omer Hirsh, a developmental disorders specialist, where we will learn what are primitive reflexes, what they look like, how to check for them, and when necessary - how to integrate them. This is the foundation. The seminar will include hands-on experience exercises and ways to integrate the primitive reflexes faster by introducing co-activation of the senses By the end of the seminar you will be able to: • Understand the cause of retained primitive reflexes • The importance of integrating primitive reflexes for normal brain development. • The connection between retained primitive reflexes and the maturation of different networks and paths in the brain. • Know how to test primitive reflexes correctly. • Avoid the traps many therapists fall into while testing for primitive reflexes. • Learn how to integrate primitive reflexes faster by co-activation. • Understand why in some circumstances primitive reflexes return (TBI, Trauma, Stroke) • Learn the correct exercises and how to motivate patients to do them at home.
