Free training places for professionals providing services to adolescents with an intellectual disability
We are offering free training places to professionals providing services to adolescents and young adults with an intellectual disability in the Republic of Ireland.
Successful applicants will receive free training and supervision in the Parents Plus Special Needs Programme (PPSN), which is the first evidence-based parenting and educational programme in the world for parents of young people with an Intellectual Disability.
In 2019/2020, in a large Randomised Controlled Trial with Trinity College Dublin Psychology Department, parents attending the Parents Plus Special Needs Programme reported significant improvements in:
- Parenting practices
- Problem behaviours
- Parental satisfaction
- Self-efficacy, and
- Goal attainment
The training will take place online, via Zoom, on the 18th, 25th and 27th of August, 9a.m. – 1.30p.m.
