Anyone interested in another Moondog training session?

[messmonster]

Evening all.

I went to Moondog's training session in B'ham earlier this year and found it really useful as well as enjoying the opportunity to meet other MNers.

I wondered if anyone would be interested in attending another one - perhaps in the SE this time?

For me personally, I'd love to consolidate some of what was covered at the first session and being totally selfish, would also want to cover some topics that would be relevant to my DD starting school next year.

For those who don't know, Moondog is a regular poster here. She is a v experienced SALT with an MSc in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA).

The session some of us attended in B'ham was really an introduction to ABA with Moondog and her colleague sharing several practical ABA-based techniques that they have used very successfully with children with SN - to help both with communication and learning.

So, if you're interested and think you could help me persuade Moondog to run another course, please post below giving an indication of what would be helpful to you and what region would suit you best (SE, Midlands etc). If there's enough common ground, then we might be able to set something up.

Many thanks

Ok here's my report it post:

^"You'll see from the posts earlier in the thread that we have been discussing setting up a meeting for as many sn mums as are interested in information on ABA and able to make it to central London. Is this something you would be able and willing to accommodate, in principle? I don't know how other posters who are keen to attend will feel about the idea.(But no doubt we will hear opinions soon.)
TIA."^

Any thoughts from others who have signed up or are thinking about doing so re potentially using mumsnet venue, if they can accommodate us?

Hi newbrunette and pinkorkid thanks for this suggestion and for flagging it to MNHQ. Will be interested to see what they say. Personally, I think it's a good idea if they can accommodate us.

Not sure about using the time for a focus group too - the last Moondog session was really full-on from start to finish but let's see where this takes us and make some decisions if it's a go-er.

Hi all,

We can certainly have a talk with Moondog or who ever is organising and see what we can come up with. Obviously it will depend on numbers etc.

If you'd like to send a mail to contactus @ Mumsnet.com with a link to this thread we can discuss further.

Thanks pink for the bump and PM. I've just emailed MNHQ and will report back when there's any news.
