· Learn how to bring the SMAR Together to promote activity and participation.

This study day is part of 2 separate but complimentary study days suitable for doctors, nurses and therapists who have a good understanding of the Ei SMART framework and want to begin to implement it either in the Neonatal Unit or after discharge.

These implementation workshops are co-produced and delivered by our team of therapists, (OT, PT, SLT), Nursing and medical practitioners, and parents with lived experience of having babies and young children with developmental differences and challenges.


Frequently asked questions

Are there more Ei SMART study days and implementation days?

Yes, you can see all our training courses and dates on our website www.eismart.co.uk. All are bookable through Eventbrite.

When are the other Implementation days in 2025?

Implementing the Ei SMART framework in the Neonatal Unit is on Thursday 13th March 2025 or Thursday 9th October 2025. Implementing the Ei SMART framework after discharge and in early intervention is on Friday 14th March 2025 or Friday 10th October 2025.

Can I attend if I am not a doctor or therapist?

Yes, you can attend if you are working in early intervention in a professional capacity.

Can I attend if I am a parent of a baby with additional needs?

This course is aimed at professionals working in early intervention and so if you are a parent you may find it more helpful to work with a therapist who has attended the training rather than attend yourself.

Do I get a reduction if I attend the study day and both implementation days?

Yes, it is cheaper to attend all 3 days if you book that option rather than booking them individually.

Our Vision

Our vision is the global adoption of Ei SMART as the way of supporting infants with developmental challenges from birth onwards.

It is an approach where Sensory, Motor, Attention and Regulation, and Relationships, form part of every interaction and intervention. Together parents, therapists and health carers, seek to understand the lived experience of the infant and agree on interventions according to each child’s needs.

Our Mission

Our mission is to lead and transform the face of early intervention, so every infant with developmental challenges is supported using an Ei SMART approach, from birth for as long as support is needed.
