| Description |
Neurodevelopmental disorders encompass a wide range of motor dysfunction that affects a person’s ability to move and maintain balance and posture. While Cerebral Palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood (affecting 1 in 323 children), there are many other prevalent motor impairments due to autism, down syndrome, and other physical problems connected to an array of neurological conditions. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires states to provide early identification and provision of services to infants and toddlers. The role of childhood health professionals has become particularly important because of the greater emphasis placed on early identification of children with delays. It is also essential to empower the families with the proper tools to improve overall progression of the child.
This workshop will provide participants with quick and practical techniques to identify neuromotor impairments in infants and young children. The hands-on strategies will allow you to be a proactive clinician, allowing the implementation of a plan of care that can improve functional outcomes. Return to your practice with tools to immediately implement the best interventions, the latest research, and safely challenge this very fragile population.
