​
Developmental Screening for 4 to 6 months of age: Therapy BC Webinars | Therapy BC
Pediatric therapists have the knowledge and skills to participate actively in earlier identification of those infants at risk for developmental disabilities, identify children for early intervention services and develop preventive services for young infants. A combination of surveillance with detection will be presented to address barriers to infant screening recommendations and illustrate a two-step, parent focused, screening process. Implementation of this two-step model offers a system of therapist-initiated early identification to create a new vision for the future roles in preventive care for practicing clinicians.
​
Supporting People With Disabilities Across Their Lifespan: Therapy BC Webinars | Therapy BC
Therapists begin a partnership on the first visit with a new family, whatever the age. This partnership is honed through asking the right questions, listening for ‘I can do this’, sharing information and creating strategies together. Four families’ stories will illustrate the delights and benefits of long term partnerships. Anticipatory guidance for each age range will illustrate practical strategies.
