Sleep Strategies

This face to face workshop is presented by Sue McCabe, Occupational Therapist who has been working in the area of sleep for a number of years. The workshop will go through what allows for good sleep, and sleep issues. The second half of the workshop provides practical strategies and an opportunity for parents to map out a plan for how they can make changes at home or school. Numbers are caped at 20 places to allow for lots of discussion and chances to ask questions from the presenter.
