Brush Adult Training for Children with Disabilities (BAT-D) (2 hour) - Live Distance Learning
A two-hour live distance training is available for educators and early interventionists. Children with special needs have the highest rate of dental decay, which can affect their ability to succeed in therapies, communicate, and can lead to systemic infection. However, many parents have never been taught how to care for their child’s teeth and mouth and how to overcome the barriers to good oral health their child may face.
Upon successful completion of this training, participants will be able to:
Learn how to use the Brush for Children with Special Needs curriculum and parent materials to promote dental health in families with children with special needs
Identify the ways in which primary teeth are important to a child’s health and success in school
Understand the importance of primary teeth in child development
Understand the characteristics and causes of dental decay
Learn about the importance of nutrition in preventing decay in special needs children
