Working with babies and their parents

This course by the Scottish Centre for Children with Motor Impairments aims to give an understanding of parents' feelings and explore the consequences of the child being in a special care unit. The course is mainly for those working with children under two, although the Centre's work with two- and three-year-olds will also be illustrated.
