Therapies in the School 23rd Annual Conference 2022 – ON-DEMAND 9
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Learn to recognize retained primitive reflexes and their effect on functional movement in students. Tools to assess primitive reflexes will be presented along with a new approach to treatment. Motor/nervous system damage or challenges require neuroplasticity tools for effective treatment. Learn a new perspective on how to enter the CNS with sensory information to assist in rewiring around impairments. Utilizing Neuroplasticity techniques result in improved motor outcomes in the school-based environment and the student’s school routine.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Identify the cortical impairments that release dysfunction of primitive reflexes that render impairment of normal development of gross and fine motor skills.
- Learn to integrate the retention of reflexes to increase active movement in school aged children.
- Utilize an evidence-based assessment tool to evaluate primitive reflexes.
- Apply an intervention to address retained reflexes that effect normal functional activities in school.
- Apply an intervention to alter tone to promote controlled voluntary motion during developmental motor skills and school activities.
AUDIENCE:
School-Based Therapists
COURSE OUTLINE:
- Evaluation – Look at the patient functionally to see the nervous system and determine what reflexes are present
- Purpose for primitive reflexes
- Causes for primitive reflex obligatory demonstration
- How the brain relates information for survival
- Case study
- History
- Evaluation – Use of active range of motion
- Treatment – Cranial nerve sensory pathways used for rewiring
- Use of lobes for neuroplasticity advancement
- How to naturally change low or high tone effectively to promote improved voluntary function, posture, gross and fine motor control
- Progress of the patient
- Results
Karen Pryor PhD, PT, DPT, ND, CH, CPRCS specializes in neuroplasticity. With a firm belief, when you change the mind the body follows. She is a physical therapist with 42 years of experience as well as a Naturopathic Doctor. Integration of multiple educational avenues has helped her design advance- programs for rewiring the brain.
