New Training Calendar from PSCWA

Hi Staff,

Look through this training calendar from PSCWA.
If you do see something interest you, please check with your ISF if you could apply under 'FSF' for a funding subsidy, to release time for permanent child care workers/carers to attend specialist training that is relevant to the inclusion of a child with additional needs.

Alternatively, speak with PSCWA to see if they are able to tailor made trainings to the needs of your centre.

Please plan in advance.

Autism Solution - Channel 7

I caught a snippet of the interview on Sunday Night - 20091115.

Is it for real or is it another invested interest on families of children with Autism?

Strengthening Mental Health by CLAN WA

I think this workshop will help us revisit some of the fundamentals in communicating with professionals. Sometimes in the course of our heavy workload, we may forget that the right thing to do may not be the fastest way to it.

Very short notice but sign up as soon as possible if it suits you.

SM Inclusion Support Client Satisfaction Form

Dear Services,

It is the time of the year where most of us will be busy reflecting on the best practices of 2009 and all armour ready for challenges in 2010.

SMIST is also looking forward to events in 2010 and we hope to have some input from you.

Please help us with our Client Satisfaction Form for 2009 and we welcome suggestions on what would you like SMIST to assist you in the near year. We understand that 2009 had been a year of new forms and IPSP guidelines. If you would like us to come out and attending a informal meeting with your staff about these new guidelines, this can be one of your objectives for SMIST in the new year.

Please get a form from your ISF. Every feedback will help us grow. No centre will be penalised for speaking their minds.

We hope to hear from you soon.
