Robyn Papworth Complex Case Round Table Brainstorming
Complex Case Round Tables
Collaborative problem-solving sessions for educators working with children who have complex developmental or behavioural needs.
A Collaborative Approach to Complex Developmental Challenges
Our Complex Case Round Tables provide a structured, supportive environment for educators to work through challenging cases with expert guidance and peer collaboration. Unlike traditional professional development, these sessions focus on applying developmental principles to specific children and situations, resulting in individualised support plans.
How Round Tables Work
Small Group Format
Small groups of 5-8 educators meet with our developmental specialist in a confidential, supportive environment. This intimate setting ensures each participant receives focused attention while benefiting from diverse perspectives.
Case Presentation
Participants bring real-life case scenarios from their practice, presenting the child's profile, current challenges, and interventions attempted. A structured template guides this presentation to ensure comprehensive information.
Collaborative Problem-Solving
Using a structured process facilitated by our developmental specialist, the group explores the case through developmental, sensory, and regulatory lenses. This multi-perspective approach often reveals insights not visible when working in isolation.
Strategy Development
The group collectively generates practical strategies based on developmental principles, with our specialist ensuring all approaches are evidence-based and developmentally appropriate for the specific child's needs.
Action Planning
Each participant leaves with a concrete action plan for their case, including specific strategies, implementation steps, and monitoring considerations. Follow-up support ensures educators feel confident implementing these approaches.
Benefits of the Round Table Approach
Multiple Perspectives
Access diverse viewpoints from other educators and specialists that illuminate aspects of the challenge you might not have considered.
Shared Experience
Realise you're not alone in facing complex challenges, reducing isolation and professional stress while building supportive connections.
Practical Solutions
Walk away with concrete, individualised strategies you can implement immediately, not generic approaches that don't fit your specific situation.
Developmental Insight
Gain deeper understanding of children's developmental needs, building your capacity to address similar challenges in the future.
Round tables can be scheduled as one-time sessions or as a series for ongoing support and case evolution. Available in-person at your centre or via secure video platform for remote participation. All cases are handled with strict confidentiality, with appropriate consent procedures in place.
