Monash University
Two Days of workshops and lectures
This short course provides targeted training for occupational therapists working with children and families, focusing on evidence-based paediatric assessment and intervention planning.
This course is ideal for early career OTs working with children, experienced practitioners seeking to upskill in NDIS-specific paediatrics, clinicians supervising students or new graduates, and professionals looking to refresh their knowledge of paediatric assessment.
The course focuses on evidence-based paediatric practice, with particular attention to assessment and intervention planning including considerations for NDIS services. Key topics include how to confidently apply standardised and informal assessments with children and families, best practices for assessments when working with families using a strengths-based approach, and how to select and apply evidence-based assessments and tools aligned to child and family goals.
The course is led by a team of published academics and clinicians who bring together extensive paediatric research expertise, direct clinical experience with children and families, advanced knowledge in assessment tools and evidence-based intervention, and a background in adult learning and supporting therapists across diverse settings. This ensures all course content is grounded in current best practice and is highly relevant for therapists working in community, private, or education settings.
This course supports high-quality, family-centred practice for occupational therapists working with children and families, whether new to paediatrics or building on existing skills. It equips participants with the knowledge and skills to confidently apply a range of assessment tools and approaches, and to use these to inform effective intervention planning and delivery.
