Release One-Day Seminars

Release One-Day Seminars are an intensive one-day course which up to 25 caregivers can attend. The subjects taught can be utilised for a range of communication difficulties-from articulation problems and language delay to Down syndrome and the Autistic Spectrum Disorder. The cap to 25 people is due to our method of creating a lot of active participation, and if it goes over that number, it minimizes the impact of the lessons.

The Seminars have already run in a number of locations around Ireland with all participants, parents, teachers, special needs assistants and speech and language therapists giving Release the top marks possible!

Release preliminary offers training in all the above classes, however Release would suggest the following agenda. We can and will adapt the courses taught to suit your needs if you wish.

Days and Times
The course day will be dependent on the time of the year you would like to proceed with the seminar. This day will have to be scheduled in around the private sessions we are currently running. It is more than likely Tuesday will be the day the course will be held.

Costs
Each course fee includes development, individualisation, instruction, and Release Training Documents.

We do travel around the country for the Release All-Day Seminar so classrooms, food and drink are the responsibility of the group hosting the Seminar.

At no additional cost, you may also have the course run in our classrooms at Solas Centre, St Gabriel's Rd, Dollymount, Dublin 3, which is accessible via the Luas, Dart and numerous bus routes. Food and drink will still be the responsibility of the group hosting the Seminar.

For a group of 25 people (which is the maximum) the all day course runs approximately €50 per person (€16 with Med1 and private health care deductions) not including travel or food.
