An element of this training that will run through the entire course is communication, which allows you to build trust with the patient and his family, as well as help the patient communicate with members of medical teams. This model of communication helps build the authority of the therapist, improves therapy, and improves the relationship of the patient and his family with doctors and other experts. This makes the Clinical WaterTherapy therapist a Guide-Mentor for the patient and his family.

The aim of the training is to prepare people who want to help children with cerebral palsy in an aquatic environment in such a way that their paediatric patients can develop to the best of their abilities all the time. So that their development is a never-ending process that makes them and their parents happy.

From the experience of the author of the training, Aleksandra Koziorowska, in order to achieve the happiness of a child with a disability, a therapist needs to have empathy, listen and meet the needs of the child, as well as be able to talk, listen and meet the needs of the child's parent. That's why each level of training will develop following the patient, the sensoric and internal sphere as well as contact with the patient and water; communication with the parent, patient, siblings.
