A lecture and discussion by Peter Limbrick

In this lecture Peter will argue that, as an essential part of modernising Early Childhood Intervention / Early Support, radical change is needed in the working practices of both teachers and therapists – and in how they work together. From this change will come a 21st Century system that reduces the potential for stress and strain on children, saves families’ time and energy, and makes far better use of practitioners’ time.

Cost (to include light vegetarian lunch): £45.00. Some free places for parents.
