Cornerstone Therapy therapists are available to run a number of workshops ( dependent on interest)

Each session is run by at least one of our professional team and are very practical in their approach.  Our primary goal is to help people supporting children in our community in being better equipped to do so. We want you to leave with a number of things you can easily put in place your very next working day.  If you have particular topics of interest related to child development or disability please let us know.  We are always interested in partnering with our local community and are happy to discuss your team’s training needs to help you achieve your team development goals.

Below are a few examples of some of the workshops available.
