1. Best Practice: Best practice refers to practices that are based on the best evidence available from research. The goal of best practices is to apply the most recent, relevant, and helpful interventions, based on research, in real-life practice. The concept best practice is an important one. New knowledge based on interdisciplinary research is rapidly expanding. Provision of high quality services depends on translating research-based knowledge into real-life practice.

23. 13/06/2016Val Johnson Coaching as Capacity Building The role of the coach is to mobilize experiences, interactions, and opportunities in conjunction with mediating the person’s deeper understanding of what is or could be working in order to reach the end goal. Sheldon and Rush 2007

24. 13/06/2016Val Johnson Stages in coaching: identifying the problem, finding out what the person has tried joint brainstorming of other options, and coaching the adult to implement the strategy.

25. 13/06/2016Val Johnson Important elements of coaching: adult learning principles, capacity building, non directive, goal oriented, solution focused, performance based, reflective, collaborative and context driven as hands on as it needs to be.

26. 13/06/2016Val Johnson Summing it up.

27. 13/06/2016Val Johnson No infant or toddler needs physical, occupational or speech therapy twice per week in order to grow and develop. What young children need is exposure to communication, mobility, play, gradual independence in activities of daily living and nurturing interaction with family members everyday, in their usual places and situations. Therapists, using their therapeutic expertise as the means to this end, can help young children and family members achieve their desired outcomes. Hanft and Pilkington 2000, pp 11-12 Quoted in the ECIS reform Literature review page 75 by Dr Tim Moore. 2011.

29. 13/06/2016Val Johnson If: we believe in best practice and, if best practice means practices that are based on the best evidence available from research, and, if the goal of best practices is to apply the most recent, relevant, and helpful interventions, based on research, in real-life practice

30. 13/06/2016Val Johnson Then: we have an obligation to use those practices that are based on the best evidence available today and apply the most recent, relevant, and helpful interventions, based on research, in real-life practice.
