Praxis: Evaluation and Treatment of the Clumsy Child

Description

Many children of all ages struggle with motor skills. These "clumsy" children may exhibit difficulties with motor planning, activities of daily living, as well as issues with play. This lab course will provide practical and effective intervention strategies for these children. Underlying etiologies of clumsiness (developmental incoordination disorders) as well as newer concepts of motor control and motor development will be discussed in relationship to other neurophysiologic concepts. This course will discuss evaluation tools to isolate the roots of the problem and treatment techniques and suggestions utilizing an integrated approach for the baby and child from 0 to school age. Functional outcomes and clinical effectiveness will be emphasized.
