The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development is used to identify deficits in very young children across five major developmental domains: cognitive, language, motor, adaptive behaviour and social-emotional. This scale is ideal for use when delays or problems in early development are suspected to determine whether early intervention or further assessment are required. It indicates strengths, weaknesses, and competencies so that parents and professionals can properly plan for the child.

Description

The Bayley-4 Workshops are conducted by Dr Melissa Ross, an experienced Clinical Psychologist who specialises in developmental assessment. Dr Ross has considerable experience as a clinical psychologist in the areas of child development, developmental disability and the assessment of infants and pre-schoolers.

The Bayley Scales of Infant Development (Bayley-4) are recognised internationally as one of the most comprehensive tools to assess children from as young as 16 days old. With Bayley-4, it is possible to obtain detailed information even from non-verbal children as to their functioning. The Bayley-4 Australian & New Zealand has locally acquired norms.

Children are assessed in the five key developmental domains of cognition, language, motor, social-emotional, and adaptive behaviour.
The Workshop programme covers:

An introduction to the Bayley Scales of Infant & Toddler Development - Fourth Edition (Aust & NZ).

The standardisation project, including Australia and New Zealand standisation

Item introduction

Video demonstration

Practice testing using a video of an infant or toddler

Scoring of scales and statistical interpretation

Discussion of assessment findings

Case study presentations

Included in your registration fee:

Course training materials

Morning tea and lunch on both days (applicable to face-to-face workshops)

Di Collis has 30 years clinical experience in paediatric OT working in a variety of locations in SE QLD as well as locum work in the UK. She has mostly worked within the health sector: tertiary/regional hospitals and community health centres. Her experience includes working with children with acute and chronic illness and injury, developmental delay and learning difficulties. Di has an 'accidental' but enduring interest and commitment to paediatric toileting work and is known by some as the author of 'The Adventures of Plopsy the Poo'. Di currently holds a part time position at Nambour Child Health in which she delivers toileting workshops for parents and offers individual support to children with bedwetting. In partnership with the University of the Sunshine Coast, Di recently completed a research project examining the impact of parent toileting workshops on parental sense of competence and children's quality of life. Her private practice offers specialised toileting as well as general OT paediatric services.

Debbie Atkins is an occupational therapist with 20 years experience working within an early intervention paediatric service in Adelaide for children with significant developmental disabilities. This role has primarily involved active clinical work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, with young children and their families in a community based service. However, over the last 10 years, Debbie has also been actively involved in developing resource material to support toilet training programs, including the 'Are You Ready' DVD and parent information, in addition to the 'Toilet Time Resource Manual' for professionals. Debbie has been implementing regular parent education workshops and individual toilet training programs for many years, and has particular experience working with children with an intellectual disability and global developmental delays.

Topics will include common myths and misunderstanding about the impact of chronic disease on sexuality and sexual expression; how to start a difficult conversation; handling difficult questions and how to evaluate practice. Participants will also be supported to identify change strategies that can support them to implement their learning in practice.

RECORDED WEBINAR SUMMARY

NARRATIVE STORYTELLING: FACILITATING POSITIVE IDENTITY GROWTH

The aim of this webinar is to introduce the audience to the therapeutic benefits of supporting clients to share their personal stories of lived experience. Research evidence and a model of narrative storytelling will be used to illustrate the transformative potential of narrative storytelling in supporting positive identity growth. Key areas of exploration include:

1) Storytelling as meaningful occupational engagement;
2) Storytelling as a humanising relational experience; and
3) Enabling personal reflection and self-learning through storytelling.

Approaches to narrative storytelling will be explored, including practical strategies to embed storytelling into clinical practice. Accessibility of storytelling with people with cognitive and communication challenges will also be outlined.

Suitable for all stages of career and any discipline.

At the end of the webinar it is expected that participants will:

Be informed of research evidence supporting the use of narrative approaches in clinical practice

Recognise the therapeutic benefits of narrative storytelling

Apply this understanding of therapeutic benefits to the relationship between narrative storytelling and positive identity growth

Understand practical strategies to embed storytelling into clinical practice

Appreciate the accessibility of narrative storytelling with clients with cognitive and communication challenges.

Kate D'Cruz PhD is an experienced occupational therapist and researcher. She works as an academic at La Trobe University and as a senior research fellow at the Summer Foundation, in Melbourne Australia.
