COURSE DESCRIPTION
This live webinar focuses on using the contemporary NDT Practice Model in treating the child with hypotonia. Specific strategies to improve motor control in this population will be presented. Treatment strategies based on the common impairments of the sensorimotor system in this population will be demonstrated through the use of videotapes, case studies and practice labs. Participants will practice strategies to improve functional motor performance of the child with hypotonia.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

- Discuss 2 treatment activities within the application of NDT Practice Model Framework that serve as interventions that support occupations, including manual therapy or handling, to target identified performance skill and client factor deficits in children with hypotonia.
- Create a treatment session that include the therapeutic use of activities and occupations by analyzing and constructing an individual, task, environment triad to enhance functional participation.
