Welcome to ECIA(VC)ECIA(VC) Professional DevelopmentECIA(VC) is proud to announce the visit to Victoria of Dr Carl Dunst whose work
on Family Centred Practice has influenced so many fields of research and practice
in family and childhood service delivery. Early Childhood Intervention Practitioner CompetenciesIn 2009, the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development funded ECIA (VC) to develop a statement of competencies for early childhood intervention workers in Victoria. Andrew Hollo from Workwell Consultants was engaged to manage this project which is now complete. A copy of the final ECI Statement of Competencies, as well as the Literature Review and “Potential Applications” is available at Resources > Early Childhood Intervention Practitioner Competencies. Invitation to attend ECIA Biennial Conference 2010, CanberraRegistrations now Open!
Children learn ‘every day in every way’ from the learning opportunities that are available to them in the contexts in which they live, play and learn. In recognition of the importance of working with the child in natural learning environments, there has been a shift in focus away from assessments and intervention in clinical settings. This conference will explore natural learning environment practices and how we can build crucial relationships with families, other caregivers and practitioners to work with every child ‘every day in every way’. The focus of the ECIA conference will, as usual, be young children with disabilities/developmental delays, and their families. We look forward to welcoming you to Canberra 20-22 May 2010.
