| Description |
Occupational Therapists play an important role in fostering infant development. Occupational Therapists facilitate rolling as a means for mobility, postural strengthening, and environmental exploration. In this workshop, Occupational Therapists will discuss and analyze infant posture and movement patterns as they relate to developmental progression of the skill of rolling. Clinicians will also practice therapeutic techniques addressing asymmetries and inefficient motor patterns during rolling.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
1)Describe the developmental progression of rolling in infant development.
2)Identify atypical and inefficient posture and movement patterns.
3)Describe and analyze infant postural responses, strength, and neuromotor control in relation to rolling.
4)Describe and demonstrate infant handling techniques to facilitate targeted developmental skill: Rolling.
5)Develop effective intervention plans for infants and their families, targeting: Rolling.
