Our friends at the Challenging Behaviour Foundation are working with University College London (UCL) and Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust on an exciting new research project, and are looking for parents of children with a learning disability to take part.

The Parent Advisory Group will meet 5 times across three years (2022-2024) and will have the opportunity to take part in additional activities.

You will be paid for each meeting you attend, as well as for taking part in optional activities.

The project will be evaluating Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) with parents of children with learning disabilities referred to learning disability CAMHS. VIG is a therapy which helps the parent identify the strengths in the way they interact with their child. Successful communication between a parent and a child is captured on video and discussed with a VIG therapist.

Here's a flyer with more information about the project: challengingbehaviour.org.uk...

If you have any questions, please email Imarni.Hill@thecbf.org.uk
