Its been a long time since I've posted on this page but with back to school well under way I'm wondering what topics people may be interested in from a training? It will have to be on a Saturday and Dublin/Dublin commuter area given college and work pressures this year.
Post any suggestions you may have in the comments below. Previously I have delivered workshops on play and social skills, understanding challenging behaviour, teaching daily living skills (e.g. dressing, feeding self, etc.), but can put together something new if people are interested!
I am also available for in-house group trainings (e.g. preschool or ASD class) depending on the times people are available.

Only available through this website as I think its self published
Anyone else got great play resources?

Following on from some inquiries, I unfortunately can't take payment on the day for the Teaching Play and Social Skills training in Blanchardstown. I print materials in advance so need to know how many will be attending. You can book your place by transferring the €45 fee at paypal.me/CatrionaConnolly/45 . Just send me a DM if you have any issues and I can arrange an alternative way to transfer.
