Day 2 of the workshop was equally engaging and insightful. The sessions moved from theory into applied practice through ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐, ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด.
One learning that really stayed with me was about the importance of language in clinical practice. Instead of using the term โ๐ป๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฑ,โ it is more appropriate to say โ๐๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฑโ when making comparisons. Such small shifts in language reflect respect, sensitivity, and a more accurate understanding of development.
Another enriching aspect was the opportunity to learn ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐น๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ฒ๐
๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ who have been associated with the development of the assessment tool itself. In psychology, we often use frameworks and interventions without interacting with the pioneers behind themโfor instance, many practitioners practice ๐๐๐ง without ever having the opportunity to learn directly from ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป ๐ง. ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ธ.
Listening to the insights of contributors behind the test added depth and context to the learning experience.
It was also wonderful reconnecting with colleagues and interacting with psychologists from across the countryโ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฒ๐
