Understanding and supporting children with PDA
29 September 2015 – Glasgow
18 November – London
Delivered by Phil Christie from the Elizabeth Newson Centre, the course aims to develop a clearer understanding of PDA and its relationship to autism spectrum disorder. The session will focus on developing an understanding of developmental pathways and educational management of some of the more complex children within the autism spectrum, particularly those who fit the profile of PDA.
This one day event is aimed at professionals who work with children and young people across a range of contexts and who want to understand more about how they can promote children and young people's mental health and well-being.
Keynote speakers include:
The mental health of children is becoming more of a complex and challenging issue for practitioners who are recognising that children and young people have to deal with difficulties and issues in their daily lives which can impact on their well-being, and also present as a safeguarding concern.
Children's families and the role of education are highlighted as pivotal in terms of access to early help, and a focus is placed on the good practices of child protection and statutory mental health services.
5th October, 2015 at Thistle Hotel, The Royal Angus, Birmingham
The day will present some challenges about professional responses and debates on how to improve services for children and young people who experience mental health concerns.
