How do you identify children with hidden disabilities such as autism, global developmental delay and sensory impairments – and how do you raise the issue with parents and then work with them to maximise the child’s potential? This educational package comprises a documentary following several families with pre-school aged children, plus observational and dramatised triggers.
Iris Pictures made the first version of ‘Does This Child Need Help?’ for Early Childhood Intervention Australia (NSW Chapter) almost 20 years ago. The revised materials will be used as part of a training package delivered to students training to become early childhood workers in day care and pre-school settings.
Director: John Janson-Moore
