| Description |
This course will explore recent advances in science, training, and technology that are quickly closing the gaps in providing movement experiences to young children. In addition, we will address practical issues and barriers to real world implementation such as incorporating assistive technology into the realities of life in schools, homes and community.
A ‘brains on’ and ‘hands on’ course: Our goal is to provide information and resources supporting assistive technology from multiple perspectives: research, clinic and family. Participants will have opportunities to discuss their thoughts and ideas, as well as get hands on experience.
This course is relevant for professionals, community members and families seeking to better understand the practical implementation of assistive technology in early childhood. More importantly, we will challenge audience perspectives on the future of pediatric rehabilitation and provide a forum for the open discussion of the barriers to and opportunities for infants with mobility impairments to explore their world.
