2019 Nu Fair: Chicago-"Positioning Kids" session

Description

Positioning Kids

Course Description:

Positioning children is not the same as positioning adults. Children grow in stature, but other changes occur with this growth including range of motion, muscle tone, orthopedic status, functional abilities and more. Pediatric seating must meet the child’s needs today and in the future. This course will address positioning children and review product options specifically designed for kids.

Learning Objectives

1. The participant will be able to describe the relationship between appropriate positioning and resultant function

2. The participant will be able to determine if more postural support is required for a young child.

3. The participant will be able to determine if current postural support in positioning equipment is adequate for a young child.

4. The participant will be able to match specific client need to appropriate product features.
