We have never been allowed to do it.

We have always been reluctant to do it.

For so long, we have resisted the technological, online option in favour of REAL interaction, observation, engagement and “one on one” connection.

Over time, we have developed clinical expertise, judgement and reasoning, we have honed our therapeutic approaches, enhanced our handling techniques and interpersonal skills; we have become experts within our clinical settings and developed confidence and competence in our interactions and interventions.

And suddenly we find ourselves in unchartered territory…

Clinical experts, in an unfamiliar clinical setting.

The transition from Real to Teletherapy has filled us with uncertainty, doubt, vulnerability and lots of unanswered questions! It has challenged our competence and confidence.

How can we gauge the child’s true response?

How do I build strong rapport across a screen?

How do I manage challenging behaviour?

How do I see the full picture?

How do I use sensory Integration therapy?

How do I ensure that my child is correctly positioned?

How can I keep the child engaged? How can I explain to the child without being able to show him, using concrete therapeutic tools?

But most of all…

How can I upskill myself to ensure that I offer my clients the same level of confidence, competence and success that I offer in my REAL therapy setting?

PROFESSIONAL MINDS is committed to supporting you through this transition and to ensuring that you remain your very best.

We are proud to present:
