Fifteen Questions and Answers about Feedback Informed Treatment and Deliberate Practice

May 14, 2020 By scottdm 1 Comment

closedI love live trainings.  The spontaneity.  The interactions.  The possibilities inherent in learning together.  Each year, for the past 30, I’ve been out — generally 40 weeks out of 52 — providing workshops on feedback-informed treatment and, more recently, deliberate practice.   It’s been a gift to work with clinicians and agencies in different countries around the globe.

Of course, all that came to an abrupt end with the COVID-19 outbreak.  I quickly found myself missing the time spent with colleagues.  Others in the FIT community, I discovered, felt similarly.  So, together with ICE Community Manager, Cynthia Maeschalck, I began organizing a series of free, web-based meetings.  So far, we’ve held three, each one filled to capacity within hours of being announced.

Nearly a month ago, the recording of the first meetup was released; the second three weeks later.  Now, we have the third.  daryl and scottLooking over the questions, the breadth and depth of information covered is simply amazing.  And, thanks to the folks at CEunits, for a small fee, you can earn continuing education credits for watching!  Simply click on the links below (or contained in the video description on youtube).  No pressure!  Just an opportunity should you need CE’s.

In the meantime, here’s a minute-by-minute catalog of the questions asked and answers given.  Feel free to listen from start to finish or hop ahead to the material of interest to you. The access the videos just complete the form below and you’ll be directed to them.
