The symposium is designed for Primary School classroom teachers and will be held in Toowong, Brisbane from 8.30am - 3pm. View the Symposium outline here.

Through interactive classroom demonstrations and outdoor, practical sessions, the symposium will provide the research behind and practical support across the following topics:

• Are the number of children presenting to school/preschool with movement challenges increasing?
• How do we identify and deal with children facing movement difficulties, and when are referrals appropriate?
• Why are children having movement challenges and what are the root causes?
• Motor Programs that assist all children’s development
• Exploring the relationship between movement challenges and the ability to cope in the classroom
