Good information can be hard to find. Keep your staff and clients up to date with Kids That Go’s practical Parent Workshops or whole day Professional Development Workshops for clinicians.

Parent and education staff seminars are generally 1.5 hours, and can be tailored to meet your group’s size, questions or special requirements. Check out our existing events for parents, see below for upcoming Clinician Training Events, or contact us with your request.

Because we have taken a special interest in helping kids build self-care skills, we are often asked to speak to parent groups and education staff on:

• managing continence in children
• implementing practical management plans in schools
• sleep issues
• feeding and mealtimes
• self-care through puberty and the teen years

For clinicians, we offer a whole-day workshop which covers Constipation & Soiling, Urinary Incontinence & Bed-wetting. Contact us with your professional development enquiry.

‘Conquering a CODE BROWN’ with Rebecca Khan (Zi Mei Events)

Date: Thursday 21 June 2022, 1:30pm – 4:00pm (Brisbane time)

Location: online

Faecal smearing (“Code Brown”), also called scatolia in medical literature, is common in children with significant developmental delays (eg Autism, ADHD, intellectual disability), trauma (eg abuse, PTSD) or mental health concerns (eg anxiety, OCD). It also occurs in normally developing (“neurotypical”) children. For parents who have children who engage in scatolia, it is stressful, exhausting, socially isolating and downright gross.

Workshop Objectives – this module will provide participants with:

• an understanding of the medical, sensory and behavioural presentations/reasons for smearing
• approaches and intervention strategies that can be used to discourage the behaviour
• ways to supporting families, while customising a plan to resolve the issues
