COURSE DESCRIPTION
Participation and function for the “clumsy” child is impacted by the child’s awareness of self in space (relationship between self and environment) combined with poor postural control. Incorporate evidence-based principles of neuroplasticity and motor learning and design treatment sessions that improve prediction for movement strategies enhancing cerebellar neuroplasticity. These strategies can be used in the home, school or community for children from 3-21 and the course explores rationales and the decision-making process for pullout sessions vs. inclusion activities. Improved skills are developed though movement experiences, both successful and erroneous and will lead to better functional skills.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Prioritize impairments that impact functional activities using the NDTA™ Practice Model.
- Choose an evaluation tool based on functional impairments reported by the child and/or family.
- Identify an etiology of DCD.
- Choose an evidence-based neuroplasticity, motor learning or motor control intervention to support IEP goals.
- Select an appropriate treatment strategy for a child with minimal clumsiness.
- Apply an appropriate treatment strategy for a child with heightened clumsiness.
- Utilize evidence-based treatment strategies (related to sensation, functional/occupational movement, upright postural control, and perception) to increase coordination of movement thus increasing functional participation.
- Organize a treatment session using the provided case study.
