COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Participation and function for the “clumsy” child is impacted by the child’s awareness of self in space (relationship between self and environment) combined with poor postural control. Incorporate evidence-based principles of neuroplasticity and motor learning and design treatment sessions that improve prediction for movement strategies enhancing cerebellar neuroplasticity. These strategies can be used in the home, school or community for children from 3-21 and the course explores rationales and the decision-making process for pullout sessions vs. inclusion activities. Improved skills are developed though movement experiences, both successful and erroneous and will lead to better functional skills.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Prioritize impairments that impact functional activities using the NDTA™ Practice Model.
- Choose an evaluation tool based on functional impairments reported by the child and/or family.
- Identify an etiology of DCD.
- Choose an evidence-based neuroplasticity, motor learning or motor control intervention to support IEP goals.
- Select an appropriate intervention strategy for a child with minimal clumsiness.
- Apply an appropriate intervention strategy for a child with heightened clumsiness.
- Utilize evidence-based intervention strategies (related to sensation, functional/occupational movement, upright postural control, and perception) to increase coordination of movement thus increasing functional participation.
- Organize a treatment session using the provided case study.

1) Doll to practice skills with
2) Physioball that you can sit on – 90/90

It made me rethink how I approach my sessions altogether. I was able to incorporate musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, perception and cognition, and a bit of sensory back at my practice. It's really expanded what I think I could/should be doing in a school setting. I wish I had done more courses like this early on! Thank you! -Sydney S., OTR
I would highly recommend this course to therapists of all levels of practice. -Theresa C., OTR
