Module 4: Putting It All Together: Supporting Complex Needs & Collaboration
Introduction to the Module
In this final core module, we bring all your learning together. You have established a neuro-affirming mindset, mastered the practitioner’s toolkit, and learned to engineer supportive environments. Now, we apply these skills to some of the more complex situations you will encounter. We will explore solution-focused approaches to anxiety and demand avoidance, and focus on the vital skill of collaborating effectively with the wider team around the child to ensure a consistent, unified approach to support.
