Arranging a Nuffield Dyspraxia Programme Training Course

The Therapists at the Nuffield Centre run training courses for speech and language professionals who either currently use or are interested in using the Programme.

Courses are run periodically in London and throughout the UK. The Centre Therapists will be happy to arrange courses on request for groups of 20-30 therapists.

We can offer a one- or two-day workshop, running from 0930 to 1630. Starting and finishing times can be amended if required.

A sample timetable is shown in the linked document below. A one day course will typically include shorter sessions on theory, assessment, differential diagnosis and treatment.
