Hey ,

It's time to refocus on our Spotlight on Coaching. But we're taking a little detour from OPC with Dr Fi Graham to look at related research around goal setting and specifically how you can promote participation and agency in goal setting with children.

I am so excited to be hosting Nea Vänskä, a senior lecturer in rehabilitation and a doctoral researcher at University of Helsinki, to lead this topic discussion with us at the Scholar Sip Café. She has done some amazing work co-designing a simple tool (aka an iPad or similar) to capture videos, photos, pictures, recording and writing that facilitate exactly this - supporting active participation and agency in goal setting, rehabilitation and in everyday life with kids.

We are going to be discussing her paper, Co-development of the CMAP Book: a tool to enhance children's participation in pediatric rehabilitation (Disabil Rehabil. 2022) and you should have access to it in your Dashboard. If you can't access it, just reply to this email and let me know, but don't miss out! It's going to be a great discussion with lots of clinical take-a-ways.

Nea will be giving a short presentation on her paper, so if you haven't had the time to read it, she will bring you up to speed quickly, and then we are going to be jumping into discussions about how we can apply her learnings to our own work and other ways we can promote agency with the kids that we work with.

With oodles of enthusiasm always!

PS - I'm also going to be announcing our next Spotlight Guest at this meeting and you are going to be THRILLED when you find out who it is!! Let me just say that we are going to be digging into an area of practice that makes so much SENSE (and yes that's a hint!)
