| Description |
The latest early childhood brain research outlines the critical importance of experience-dependent neuroplasticity related to child development. The neurodevelopmental principles, use it or lose it, repetition matters, intensity matters, age matters, and use it and improve it, support the need for transferring our intervention handling/positioning techniques within the child’s everyday life. Embedding handling/positioning interventions within daily routines has the significant benefit of increasing typical movement experiences required for positive functional developmental outcomes. The classic saying, “practice makes perfect” is now changed to what brain researchers call, “experience makes perfect”.
This workshop will provide the practical handling, positioning, and intervention activities to immediately improve your clients’ functional motor development required for play participation. This will be accomplished by analyzing components of typical motor development, hands-on labs, and real-life case study videos. Participants will return to work, ready to coach caregivers with everyday intervention handling/positioning strategies to build their child’s exploration, learning, and independence.
