Description
Communication is essential – it allows the expression of need and identity, connection with loved ones, and full participation in life. However, most children with cerebral palsy experience difficulties with communication.
This module aims to upskill learners in the principles of communication development. Complemented by coaching and a family centred approach, through this module learners will be able to apply evidence-based principles and communication strategies to identify appropriate communication goals, assessments and interventions at the just right level of challenge to progress communication skills of infants with or at risk of cerebral palsy.
By completing this module, you will learn to:
- Describe how to enrich an infant’s communication environment applying a family centred approach and caregiver coaching.
- Apply clinical decision-making skills based on evidence-based principles and communication strategies to identify appropriate communication goals, assessments and interventions at the just right level of challenge to progress communication skills.
