Qualifying as an SI-SLT Advanced Practitioner has given me greater confidence to use my existing skills

I found the whole experience rich in content and rewarding in terms of expanding my understanding.

"I was both nervous and excited at the prospect of studying for my advanced SI practitioner status. I found the whole experience, including the online teaching, rich in content and rewarding in terms of expanding my understanding and deepening my knowledge and skills. All of which I have had the opportunity to put into my current practice, in addition to supporting work colleagues on their SI journey."

The Module 4 training has completely altered my practice in providing intervention following an ASI frame of reference.

"The Module 4 training has completely altered my practice in providing intervention following an ASI frame of reference. I am much more focused in pinpointing priorities for intervention, and I have become more creative in my use of theming and facilitating collaboration in activity choice and play. I also feel more confident with linking to the evidence base to guide my clinical reasoning and provision."

Occupational Therapist and Advanced SI Practitioner

Incredibly valuable to take the time out to develop

"After 21 years of using an SI frame of reference it is still incredibly valuable to take the time out to develop. It is such a rapidly developing field that there is always something new to learn and it's complexity means that any re-immersion in formal learning results in new connections and insights that will benefit clinical practice. And it is so interesting! It's also really good to now introduce myself as an Advanced Practitioner after all these years! "
