Babies and children with neuromuscular conditions benefit from therapeutic handling and facilitation strategies within the NDT Practice Model. Using Strategies that Grow, you can address alignment, weight shift and dynamic balance; choose effective planes of movement; and amplify sensory competence as a driver of movement while connecting to purposeful daily activities. You’ll gain practical skills through demonstrations and lab sessions that emphasize the individual, task and environment triad.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Therapeutic handling and facilitation doesn’t stop with babies, and it doesn’t stay static through childhood either. Through the framework of the NDTA Contemporary Practice Model, attendees will embrace the dynamic progression of motor development for children with neuromuscular conditions. By choosing effective planes of movement for handling, facilitation strategies, and task and environmental components that align with assessment findings, you can intentionally impact and improve the child’s participation in daily activities. Therapeutic strategies to address alignment, weight shift and dynamic balance will connect to the child’s participation in daily activities. Through demonstrations and extensive lab sessions, learn Strategies that Grow alongside your clients as they develop from babies through toddlerhood to school-aged children. Deepen your application of sensory competence as a major driver of motor performance and amplify the role of the sensory system for children with neuromuscular diagnoses. Work through the treatment triad that incorporates individual, task and environment to promote participation in and outside of the therapy session.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Relate impairments of alignment, weight shift and dynamic base of support to difficulties with occupational engagement and functional tasks.
Identify functional goals for a baby or young child with neuromuscular impairments.
Determine appropriate task challenges for a baby or young child’s intervention plan given client profile.
Differentiate between typical and atypical development during participation in daily activities for the infant and young child.
Choose a handling or facilitation treatment strategy to address skill performance and/or participation in the baby and young child.
Apply an intervention that integrates the individual, task, and environment triad to enhance functional performance in an infant or young child.
Select a progression of intervention strategies that aligns with a young child’s growth and development.
AUDIENCE: This webinar is designed for OTs, OTAs, PTs and PTAs working with Pediatric, Birth-3, Early Intervention and School-Age (3-21) populations in home care, outpatient, rehab or school settings.
