Introduction
This year’s Intensive Interaction Conference will look at the underlying processes of effectively developing Intensive Interaction as a care, educational or therapeutic intervention across a variety of different working and care contexts.
Across all the presentations and facilitated workshops the main focus of this conference will be on developing a greater understanding of some of the underlying processes required to support successful Intensive Interaction implementation and development, both generally and specifically for their service users, clients, students or family members.
Whether or not you have previous experience of Intensive Interaction or our annual conferences, delegates can be sure to go away with new and useful practical insights and improved Intensive Interaction related knowledge.
