Development Together and local staff. Common conditions seen amongst
the clients at our partner sites include: ASD, ABI, Cerebral Palsy, Congenital
Abnormalities, Down’s Syndrome and Developmental Delay. You will apply
current therapies and practices to enhance client outcomes and conduct
professional education sessions for local staff.
You will have the opportunity to explore Ukrainian culture on a weekend trip
to Kyiv with a guided tour of the city.
You will be accompanied by an experienced Australian Health Professional,
who will provide clinical guidance and logistical support. They will also act
as a liaison between you and our host partners.

Team work, critical thinking, cultural awareness and how to work in an
environment with limited resources.

on collaborating with individuals and groups who understand that long term
positive change for communities is reliant on strong relationships and partnerships
developed over time. More info bit.ly/dt-travel
