Workshop 2C:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Techniques to support children through their parents
Learn how ACT can shape your interventions with parents so that they’re steadier, less thrown by their children’s thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and their children feel better supported.
ACT is a third-wave behavioural therapy, underpinned by relational frame theory. Its evidence-based psychological interventions are used in many settings, from brief clinical encounters to coaching to long-term therapy.

Workshop 3C:
Beyond Behaviour - Understanding dysregulation in neurodivergent children through a neuroaffirmative and neurosequential lens - with practical strategies for supporting emotional regulation for paediatric practice and families
Contemporary paediatric practice recognises that “challenging behaviour” often reflects emotional and sensory dysregulation. This workshop equips clinicians with practical, time-efficient strategies to support regulation, manage overwhelm, and respond effectively to dysregulation in everyday clinical interactions.
Grounded in neuroaffirmative and neurosequential frameworks, it focuses on improving engagement, participation, and functional outcomes for neurodivergent tamariki.

Workshop 4C:
General movement assessment and MOS-R:
Beyond early CP diagnosis
The general movements assessment is highly predictive
for the later development of cerebral palsy (CP). The Motor optimality
score revised (MOS-R) is a detailed assessment of an infant’s motor and
patterns at aged 3 -5 month. There is increasing evidence that MOS-R is
predictive for a range of developmental outcomes, including level of motor
function, and non-motor outcomes such as language and cognition.
In this workshop, we will discuss the latest evidence
for the predictive value of MOS-R, discuss practical ways to implement this and
discuss case studies
Participants can expect to gain an understanding
of MOS-R and its potential to add value to developmental surveillance
programmes and consider current challenges for using this tool.
