In this episode, Caitlin is joined by Caitlyn and Gabs to challenge the way clinicians typically think about tech use with their clients. The conversation moves past minutes-on-a-clock thinking to explore three things clinicians often miss: context, content and purpose - the considerations that genuinely differentiate helpful tech use from unhelpful.
With technology so present in everything kids do, this episode is designed to be genuinely useful for clinicians across every discipline. The team share practical approaches listeners can implement straight into their therapy, and how to feel more confident addressing tech use across their caseload.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live here in Mitcham, Victoria. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and recognise their ongoing connection to the land, waterways, and culture. As we support children and families, we are inspired by the wisdom and care that First Nations peoples have shown for generations.
