I've been treating special needs clients for a couple of years now, and I want to take it to the next level. I'm searching for courses in the UK (ideally South East). In particular, I want to improve my knowledge and develop my skills for people who are autistic, in wheelchairs, or have reduced motor functions. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Namaste, and grateful thanks

What do you mean by 'take it to the next level' Do you not feel you are meeting the needs of your clients? As you have been treating them for a couple of years I assume you have a regular clientele.....who would not stay unless they were happy with what you were doing

Thank you, yes, they are wonderful, and very happy with my treatments! I want to do some CPD - I'm always looking for ways to improve and evolve my work , and generate some new ideas so my therapy is even more effective, and allows me to help even more people.
I do therapies with people who are in wheelchairs.....including Indian Head massage. In my experience the main difference with this type of patient is that communication may be more of problem. Plus being in a wheelchair can give physical barriers to treatment.
I treat one patient with Huntington's chorea who cannot talk (or stay still!) and have treated several with MND who have extreme difficulty talking. Obviously with autistic children communication can also be a huge issue.
If I was looking for some CPD in this area I would be looking for an NLP course (great for communication skills generally) I would also see if there was some information specifically about autism from an autism organisation that would give you better insight into their specific needs.
