A Trauma Informed Approach to Postural Control and Praxis
This four-day course explores assessment and treatment of postural control and praxis, from attachment and trauma informed perspectives. It examines the impact of developmental trauma, the influence of attachment patterns, and implications for assessment and treatment. Therapists are trained in a trauma informed approach to the use of Ayres Clinical Observations, and in observational analysis of child led play where formal assessment isn’t possible.

A Trauma Informed Approach to Touch
This course looks at the impact of attachment trauma on the tactile system. It includes the use of a trauma informed assessment of the individual’s response to touch. Therapists learn to differentiate whether tactile defensiveness is due to sensory modulation difficulties or trauma or to both. They learn how to provide tactile experiences that promote a healthy response to touch and diminish the impact of trauma.

The Art of Interviewing and Exploring Issues
This course is aimed at therapists who are involved in interviewing adults in order to assess risk; complete foster carer and adoptive parent assessments and plan Therapeutic Interventions.
This course offers an introduction to the potential of discourse analysis. It explores the ways in which how someone says what they say is more revealing of the self and motivations for behaviour than what they say. It looks at the central importance of this when undertaking a range of evaluative assessments.
The course also looks at a framework to inform the ways in which we give feedback, with the aim of maximising understanding and effectiveness.
