SL/T and ABA workshop for Mumsnetters London 23/2/13

moondog · 18/02/2013 09:54

I have been asked by MNers to do a repeat of the workshop I did in Birmingham for those who post on the SN board last year.

We have booked a venue in London and will be running a similar event with two trainers this Saturday. To date we have 10 MNers signed up for this, 4 veterans of Birmingham and 6 newbies. Two people will be running the training, myself and a colleague

As a behaviourally oriented s/lt and the parent of a child with communication issues, the aim is to share with you what has worked for my child and for the many children I work with. You will leave with knowledge of specific measurable programmes, curricula and strategies that will bring about improvements in both your child's communication ability and behaviour.

Please email me for more specific details of the day's content, as well as location, trainer details and price.

Honestly, I'm not sure if you're including me in numbers, on account of a missing cheque and all, but I am definately coming!!!

MerryCouthyMows · 18/02/2013 15:47

I'm struggling to find any money, as I don't get child benefit till the 26th, so it's looking like I can't go because I won't have the train fares. :-(

Star, I have included you in the numbers and trust you enough to know you will cough up. Grin

I have had my fellow trainer here all afternoon for us to go through everything.
I'll be squeezing in a session on Language for Thinking over lunch too for those who want it as I think it is brilliant and we have developed a full proof way of measuring/remediating every step of the way which is a million times better than the programme's way of taking data.

Thankyou for emailing me the details, Moondog. I would really have loved to have come, but it coincides with family visiting.

Is this aimed at children with ASD? or any disabilities?

StarlightMcKenzie · 20/02/2013 16:49

Sadly dh won't be able to come. I would be relying on my mum for childcare and she can do two bouncy children, but not three. The plan was to get a girl in to help her but it didn't happen. Sad

Sorry to hear that Star but look forward to seeing you this time-seeing a lot less of you actually as you were pg last time!

Unfortunately there really isn't a lot less. In fact, given that breastfeeding makes me put on weight there could well be more......

Actually, it's worse than that atm, coz weaning gives me very bad acne as the hormones start to adjust. So I'm a right ole mess.

So I'll be the one dressed in a bin-liner with a bucket over my head...........

Goodness, no-one tells you how much your kids zap from you. Though they are just very trying during half term brilliant and funny and worth everything.

I thought my sister got it right when she once observed that everyone looks dog rough pushing a pram.
Ah those days of grimacing into the wind, pushing old wreck laden with placcy bags and still in maternity clothes years months after the happy event....
