Webinar - 'Skills for Independence' for parents and carers
About
Worcestershire Health & Care NHS Trust - Paediatric Occupational Therapy webinars'Skills for Independence' is a webinar for parents and carers of school aged children with mild to moderate delays in self-care, school or play skills, who need extra support to develop these skills. This is suitable if your child is in a special school, or in a mainstream school if they are significantly behind in their everyday skills.
The session helps you understand how children learn new skills over time and how you as a parent or carer can to teach these skills in a clear, accessible, and meaningful way for your child. You will learn simple, practical strategies that can be used at home to support skills such as dressing, washing or feeding. The focus is on helping you to help your child build confidence and independence at their own pace.
Please note that this webinar may not be suitable if your child appears to work mainly at a sensory level (how something feels, looks like, moves, smells) rather than to achieve something (to dress themselves, to feed themselves). If you are unsure whether this is suitable for you, please call us on 01562514520 or message us on whcnhs.paediatricot@nhs.net
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions about issues that are relevant to you and your child.
The content is the same in each webinar, so you only need to book onto one session.
The slides will be shared with you after you have attended.
The webinars are delivered using Microsoft Teams.
If you have any difficulties joining, please call us on 01562 514520.
Please note: This webinar is open only to families who are registered with a Worcestershire GP or who have a child attending a school within Worcestershire. If you book onto this webinar and do not meet this eligibility criteria, your booking will unfortunately be cancelled.
