COURSE DESCRIPTION: Are you treating any students who appear clumsy and unaware of their surroundings? Students who can’t sit still in their chair and complete classroom tasks. Do they stand too close to other students, resulting in social and emotional issues? Do they have a generalized diagnosis that does not match their performance? Have you considered apraxia, dyspraxia, sensory processing, kinesthesia, coordination or neurological conditions? This course will address awareness of self in space from early childhood to adolescence. In addition, it will provide practical activities and tools to use with your students and how to organize your treatment plan from an OT/PT perspective.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Correlate body awareness to its impact on overall safety and function in children.
Examine the correlation of sensory dysregulation, cognition and motor function to decreased body awareness.
Recognize how impairments can be related to decreased body awareness.
Analyze components of typical body movements as a reference to determine motor deficits.
Compare two assessment tools to evaluate a child’s awareness of self-in-space based on presenting issues.
Determine prioritization of intervention strategies amongst skill building, adaptations or accommodations within a developmental framework.
Apply an intervention strategy to enhance body awareness for improved participation in school or community.
AUDIENCE: This course is relevant for OTs, COTAs, PTs, PTAs working with Pediatric, Birth-3, Early Intervention and School-Age (3-21) populations in home care, outpatient, rehab or school settings.
