An initial exploration into the efficacy of intervention with children with complex needs. What might we be missing and what might be needed for change in the profession? PROMPT trained Holly Maya Greenwood, SALT, at www.WildChorusTherapies.com discusses her experience with children she supports. Mike reflects on the support Holly has provided for their family and why it's different to other forms of Speech and Language Therapy they received.

Relationally informed practice takes the confidence not to push a child and to trust in their primary vital connections as a source of development.

To fix or not to fix their behaviours. A compliance-based approach tries to fix children.  In contrast the LEAD approach is relational, child-led, and reflective. We reflect on what's missing, what's driving their behaviour and support the roots of their development, feeling safe and connected.
