We provide a highly regarded Professional Development Program for our staff and we welcome non-KU staff and parents to our courses, seminars and workshops. Our workshops cover a broad range of topics carefully developed to build the skills and knowledge of all staff working with children and families.

On-response training
Our experienced presenters can provide training to meet the needs of your centre.
If you can't join us at one of our scheduled Professional Development Calendar sessions we can provide sessions at your centre or other locations. Consider offering a training session with other centres in your area to minimise costs.
Examples of our most popular workshops we could offer at your centre are:
Guiding Children's Behaviour Workshop
This workshop addresses the area of behaviour based on a philosophy of social and physical environment promoting positive behaviour in children. The approach uses an understanding of child development and includes preventative, responsive and proactive approaches. It supports the implementation of the KU Guiding Children's Behaviour Policy. This is a 2 part workshop offered on the same day or two workshops separated by a number of weeks.
Total Communication Workshop
Total Communication is an approach that uses a variety of methods including speaking, showing objects, photos, symbols and signing to enhance children's development. It can benefit children with additional needs and children who are developing typically. Strategies including the use of visual aids, signing and resources will be explored.
Inclusion - a team approach
This workshop explores the ‘whole of centre' approach to inclusion - promoting understanding, skills and confidence in working with children with additional needs.
