The Course:

This 2 day lecture-style course is designed to help the participants become more effective therapists.  Presenter and participants will discuss treatment strategies and goal setting for patients with varying types of neurological deficits.  Videotaped treatment sessions will cover topics from spasticity to hypotonia, athetosis and ataxia.  Group discussions will allow critical analysis of treatment techniques as well as brain-storming sessions to set appropriate goals for each patient shown.  The information shared in this course is intended to be added to the participant's existing knowledge base to continue the learning of clinical strategies and the overall understanding of patients who present with movement deficits.  Therefore, therapists from beginners to advanced are encouraged to attend this interactive seminar.

Learning Objectives:

Following this course, participants will be able to:

1. Define treatment techniques for use with children who have neurological impairment, how to problem solve what to do when.

2. Develop treatment strategies and goals for a variety of different children.  

3. Determine which treatment strategies will work with different types of neurological impairment.

4. Understand how to use treatment strategies to enhance the variety of treatment skills you use and improve your problem solving for treating children with neurological impairment.

5. Identify and describe movement strategies different children use for stability, mobility, postural security and independence.

6. Identify which muscles may need to be lengthened or strengthened or facilitated to work with other muscles.
