Intensive Interaction Institute - Training
Since his work on developing the approach, Dave Hewett has been delivering courses on Intensive Interaction for more than twenty-five years, all over the UK and increasingly world-wide. We now have a team of associates around Dave who deliver a range of courses and services. Our courses are designed to be accessible to practitioners of all disciplines and to parents and family members. Choose below for details on work-based INSET or in-service training in the UK or abroad, or for open-access courses where you can sign up to attend events in various locations around the UK.
Make sure that your training on Intensive Interaction is from an approved Intensive Interaction Institute trainer. We are dedicated to providing training from highly trained and knowledgeable authorities on Intensive Interaction. We do not licence independent commercial trainers. Please make sure you are getting the real thing.
