Pediatric therapists commonly ask these questions about their patients with neuromotor dysfunction: “Where do I start? How do I prioritize in therapy? What is the most effective way to reach the functional goal?” “How do I work with children with complex issues for best outcomes?” This course answers those questions. Join in as we go through this unique in-depth analysis process integrating motor learning, neuroplasticity, Contemporary NDT and the ICF model. Go step-by-step through examination/evaluation, setting functional goals, in-depth analysis of system integrities and impairments, prioritizing, and developing treatment strategies. Explore impairments & treatment strategies specifically related to the Neuromuscular, Musculoskeletal, Sensory & Respiratory Systems. The information is presented through lecture, video and lab, including movement analysis and problem solving of children, and work with dolls. It is a dynamic course intended to give the participant skills that are immediately usable in their everyday practice, and effective with the children they treat.
