📣 Join us to hear the latest research into BUSS 📣

BUSS (Building Underdeveloped Sensorimotor Systems) is a therapy designed for adoptive, foster, kinship and special guardianship families. We’ll talk about why building bodily regulation is so important for children who have experienced disruption at the beginning of their lives, and how families are the best people to do that 🧡

This report presents the findings of research looking at clinical outcome measures for 468 children and young people who completed BUSS 🔍

Outcome Measures used include:
📊 Strength and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQs)
📊 Goal Based Outcomes (GBOs)
📊 Brief Assessment Checklists for Children and Adolescents (BAC-C & BAC-A)
📊 Thinking About Your Child (TAYC-R)

The webinars will be presented by:
🔹 Dr. Helen Close, NIHR Research Support Service Strategic Lead for Social Care Population Health Sciences Institute, Newcastle University
🔹 Sarah Johal, National Adoption Strategic Lead at Adoption England
🔹 Joined by Sarah Lloyd, Practitioners and Parent Mentors from the BUSS Team

📣 Everyone is welcome! 📣

Policy Makers, Researchers, Fostering and Adoption services, Social Workers, Therapists, Health Professionals, Parents, Foster Carers, Special Guardians, Kinship Carers... And please feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested in hearing more 💭
