Webinar

Do you have developmental concerns about a child at your preschool, but are not sure what to do next? This practical two-part webinar will help you to put a plan in place.

Part 1: We will consider the current context and how it may impact on your inclusive practices as you get to know the child. We will reflect on the inclusive preschool environment and discuss the importance of gathering data using observations as a first step in responding to concerns.

Part 2: We will begin to analyse the data and respond to what you have learnt about the child by making a plan – including how to communicate with families, developing short term goals and teaching strategies.
We will also discuss the next steps such as accessing developmental assessments, funding applications and support options.
