Course Overview

Self-Regulation relates to a mixture of different things. It links into our ability to focus and concentrate, manage behaviours and react appropriately to different situations, recognise our own and other people’s emotions (such as excitement, frustration and embarrassment) and calm down following a time of excitement or an upsetting situation.

Global Developmental Delay (GDD) is defined by the NHS as ‘when children experience a significant delay in at least two domains of development at an expected age’. These domains include; gross motor skills, fine motor skills, communication skills, cognitive development and social interaction.

This training course is separated into two half-day sessions, the first focusing on Self-Regulatory Behaviour and the second half focusing on Global Developmental Delay (GDD).

Each session discusses the meaning of the terms, associated characteristics and ways of providing support.
