The Course:

This course will be presented using keynote lecture, with embedded videos to discuss the following
topics:
1. Understanding the importance of treating the sensory system when the focus is motor control.
2. Understanding how apprehension of movement can delay motor skill acquisition.
3. An understanding of how to vary handling specifically to address gravitational insecurity vs. willful avoidance.
4. Evaluation of various postures and movements of patients observed in video clips.
5. Evaluation of effectiveness of techniques to obtain functional goals in video clips.

FROM THE BEGINNER TO ADVANCED, THIS COURSE IS DESIGNED TO CHALLENGE THERAPISTS AT ALL LEVELS TO ANALYZE THEIR TREATMENT APPROACH AND SHARE THEIR SUCCESSES AND KNOWLEDGE IN A GROUP.

 
Learning Objectives:

1. A basic knowledge of the weight shifting on stable vs. unstable surfaces.
2. Treatment strategies for patients of all ages and with various motor challenges.
3. To identify the major problem when abnormal control is observed.
4. Strategies to prevent abnormal development from becoming the dominant pattern.


Participants will be able to:

1.  Plan and implement a therapy program using unstable surfaces.
2.  Analyze movement patterns of various children observed in video clips.
3.  Determine which unstable surfaces they can create in their work setting.
4.  Develop a variety of plans about when to push vs. back away from activities if clients object.
