What does it cover?
As teachers and education support workers, we are always on the lookout for strategies to help children living with disabilities develop their full potential.

- Making care time quality time
- Preparing children with developmental delays for activities

This workshop is for people who work with tamariki whaikaha (children living with disabilities) including primary school teachers, teacher aides, education support and disability support workers.
Background
Drawing from more than 20 years experience as a Conductor, with inspiration from parenthood and life experiences, as well as studying the Pikler Method, FANZ (the Framework for Autism in NZ) and the framework of Enabling Good Lives, Renata Toth developed this workshop to spark constructive conversations and develop useful techniques to empower children in their everyday lives.
