    TEDI 4 Week 3 - Building Relationships of Care and Education
    (2019-06-01) Isaacs, Aimee
    In this video, Aimee Isaacs discusses how to empower the team working with children with severe to profound intellectual disability in order to support learning. Aimee speaks of the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to supporting learning, involving different specialists and caregivers in the educational process. She speaks of the importance of specialists consulting caregivers as part of their intervention, and the value of minimising the power imbalance between these groups as perceived authority and power dynamics can reduce the quality of information that the primary caregivers provide. She then speaks of the multi-disciplinary care approach as part of a holistic care approach, that brings together different skillsets and acknowledges different socio-economic and environmental factors in developing and implementing a care plan. She discusses the importance of creating mutually-empowering working relationships between the different specialists and caregivers.
