Currently, NZ has 15 trained Tactile practitioners, but only two deliver. This one Tactile training was philanthropically funded by Gaze, but unsustainable and not able to be repeated.
There are a number of unused Tactile material packages available if you would like to train in Tactile and mitigate the high resource cost – just email anne.gaze@gaze.co.nz
- Training is 5 days
- Trainees must have completed Basic 1
- US$2000 resource costs
- This added resource charge of US$2,000 pp is for specific materials = these materials are used in the delivery of the Tactile programme to children
