Incorporating a Technology Professional Within Your Child Life Team


Back to Package

This webinar will elaborate on the impact of incorporating a technology-based staff position into a child life team and how this approach can increase our ability to address the needs of pediatric patients. Technology activities are modern, non-threatening opportunities for play, creative expression, and communication that can serve as a medium for mastery, reflection, and learning. A technology member on the team can add value in attaining clinically-relevant departmental goals. 

Participants will be able to:

-Increase their knowledge of the desired requirements and experiences of a technology specialist.

-Gain understanding of therapeutic patient activities that require a high level of technological competency and how these can be addressed by a technology specialist.

-Learn how the proper clinically-based supervision of a technology specialist can guide programming in a clinically sound direction.
