This session is part of two comprehensive series:
Birth to Three Annual Conference 2 PROGRAM B – ON-DEMAND
and
Birth to Three Annual Conference 2 – ON-DEMAND
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
The fundamental importance of motor planning (the ability to plan, execute, and sequence a motor task) in the Birth-Three population cannot be overstated, as it significantly impacts a child’s ability to plan and carry out motor skills in an efficient and refined manner. This early development sets the foundation for fulfilling various life roles in the future. The respiratory system’s role in motor development cannot be overlooked. Coordinated respiration with movement is vital for achieving energy-efficient and refined motor actions.
In the dynamic environments in which we operate, it is imperative for clinicians to prioritize treatments effectively to achieve optimal outcomes. This webinar will offer valuable insights into the latest evidence on neuroplasticity, motor learning, and the NDT Practice Model. These insights will aid clinicians in organizing, prioritizing, and focusing treatment sessions to ensure functional changes are achieved by the conclusion of each session. Specific handling strategies that emphasize efficient respiration coordinated with movement will be discussed. Additionally, participants will learn how to provide effective feedback and incorporate varied practice into sessions to enhance functional outcomes for their caseloads. Strategies for instructing parents on how to reinforce successful performance during therapy sessions will also be covered, thereby improving practice within the context of daily life.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Apply contemporary concepts of motor learning, neuroplasticity, and/or the NDT Practice Model into prioritized treatment strategies.
- Choose treatment (or handling) strategies that facilitate improved participation in daily tasks.
- Integrate caregivers into the process of rehabilitation for carryover of effective treatment strategies with the child’s daily activities at home.
AUDIENCE:
Birth to three therapists including OTs, PTs, SLPs, and Special Educators working in these settings Outpatient, Hospital Acute, Hospital Outpatient, Rehab and Early intervention/home care.
