A specialist 5 day course covering a wide range of topics including, communication, the role of the intervenor, mobility and independent living skills, sensory processing difficulties and much more. The course meets the requirements of the Intervenor Standards issued by NatSIP.

We can provide QTMSI and/or specialist Intervenor support for children and young people within an educational setting who do not have specialist staff employed locally to meet need. QTMSI can provide a functional sensory assessment and consultancy/training for their staff team as required. Direct intervention can also be commissioned if required.

This course will look at how we can further understand the expressive communication attempts that are not always seen and discuss ways of increasing positive interactions for students with MSI. Participants will have the opportunity to participate in practical activities including ‘on body signing’ and ‘hand under hand’ signing as well as take part in discussions around deafblind communication.
