Global statistics have confirmed the increasing prevalence of childhood diagnosis and now, following almost 2 years of a Pandemic, disrupted school attendance and global anxiety, an increase in the number of children presenting with dual diagnoses.
This has resulted in the overlap of diagnoses, symptoms and behaviours, which has challenged Paediatric Professionals, making it difficult for them to effectively interpret behaviours and reducing the impact and efficacy of their previously successful interventions and traditional teaching & treating methods…
Every unique learning challenge requires a specific approach and intervention strategies, and Paediatric Professionals are responsible for correctly interpreting all the presenting learning challenges, having access to the best, most up to date, effective PRACTICAL SKILLS and STRATEGIES and knowing exactly which ones to employ and when, in order to address each child’s learning needs timeously and successfully!
All wrapped into ONE online course, PROFESSIONAL MINDS offers you access to insights and advice from the top professional minds from around the world!
We are proud to present…
