Peter Rosenbaum, MD's Sessions
Workshop
CanChild has been developing and promoting the «F-words for Child Development» (Functioning, Fitness, Fun, Friends, Family, and Future). Evidence around the world shows the usefulness of this strengths-based approach to working with children and their families. Supported by MCCSS, we have developed online resources to introduce F-words concepts and tools. In this presentation, we will share these ideas and highlight how the F-words support inclusive approaches to infant/child development.
The presenters are researchers and clinicians from CanChild - a research centre dedicated to generating knowledge and transforming lives of children and youth with developmental conditions and their families.
Date: October 28, 2022
