Caregiver skills training for families of children with developmental delays or disabilities - Introduction

Overview

This is the first part of a five-part package that provides guidance on caregiver skills training for families of children aged 2–9 years with developmental delays or disabilities.

The Caregiver skills training for families of children with developmental delays or disabilities (CST) aims to provide caregivers with skills that they can use at home to improve their child’s engagement in activities and communication, and to promote positive behaviour and skills for daily living.

This introduction describes how each of the elements of the package can be used. It provides an overview of the course structure and content as well as the requirements for delivering the training to caregivers.
