Course Description:
In its 21th year, this forum explores DMT with children and families. It is the 5th year concentrating on tracing the international roots and evolution of DMT with this demographic. Aligning with the conference theme, the panel presents their adaptation, integration, renewal and innovation, inspired by an international DMT post-graduate training, developed by an early innovator in the field. Through discussion, case studies and experientials, participants explore how DMT in eastern European countries, South America, and the USA are advancing the field of DMT for children with learning differences, ADHD, neurodiversity and in a pediatric palliative care residential setting.
