This course is an international course offered in collaboration with other European universities. Students represent different educational and professional background including Education, Health and Social Care. The focus of the course is to introduce students and future professionals to professional collaborative practice in working with children and young people with complex intellectual and complex disabilities. The course will address policy issues at both the international and national levels, the evidence on the demographic trends and patterns in this population and introduce different models of professional collaborative practice in providing care and support to these children and young people. The course will use a problem-based approach in which students will work in groups within and across disciplines and countries and to develop professional-specific and inter-professional support plans amongst others. The course is offered online.
