Fortnightly Supervision Model

Training of the team and supervision of the program is accomplished during visits held fortnightly (3 hour visits with the child, his/her parents and therapists). Team leadership and supervision between supervision meetings is provided by parents or by a particularly skilled team member chosen by the parents. Fortnightly phone consultations between parents / lead therapists and the Supervisor take place to ensure the success of the program. In addition to the Supervisor’s fortnightly supervision, children on this program see a WEAP Consultant twice yearly for a progress review. These appointments are generally one and a half hours in length.
