Esther is correct - some of the content is free and some requires a subscription.

You do need to register as a user on the site to access the free content. Registration is also free.

Producing high quality information is time consuming - and like everyone else I need to earn a living. So the material that has more depth and taken more time to produce is on the subscription pages.

I do hope you will take the time to look at the material that is free. And I hope that it challenges you to think about your practice and perhaps decide that it is worth your while to make a small financial investment and a large time investment to update your knowledge and skills.

Knowledge is power - the more you know and understand about development the more effective your practice becomes. Even after 40 years in practice i am learning and adapting my practice. The reward is the enormous pleasure that comes from helping to change the lives of our young patients.

Every therapy session should be fun for the child, the parents and the therapist. And after every therapy session the child and family should go away feeling greatly enriched and able to do more than when they came into the therapy room.

There are ways to engage even the most disabled children and to get them actively exploring their environment. If the child cries and is not actively working to achieve new goals - then not much is being achieved.

The video footage that you can access as a subscriber provides you with examples of how you can work with a child in this positive way. It also give insights into how children work really hard to gain new skills - and what it is we need to work towards to make a difference in the lives of our patients and their families.

And in turn, you have the right to challenge me. What is it that you would like to know more about? Does what I say make sense. Have i provided evidence for my ideas?
