COURSE DESCRIPTION:
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.
COURSE REQUIREMENT: Participants must have a rag doll for the Lab portion of this course
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Identify the main differences between functional milestones vs meaningful participation.
- Apply the components of the ICF model, including NDT principles to a case study.
- Evaluate the movements of a child via video analysis utilizing the ICF and the “Assessment & Treatment Strategy Worksheet”.
- Identify the components of therapy intervention using principles of neuroplasticity and motor learning.
- Select a meaningful goal that has a life impact beyond functional milestones.
- Utilize the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) to measure the degree of progress/outcome, in the provided case study.
- Modify the provided treatment plan to include functional goals.
- Implement appropriate treatment goals for a single session related to the functional goal
AUDIENCE:
This course is designed for PTs, PTAs, OTs, OTAs, SLPs, and EIs who work with children 18 months through teen. Therapists who have previously taken the course “Contemporary NDT Treatment of the Baby and Young Child” will benefit from this course.
