Children's brains, Neuroplasticity and Pediatric Intervention

Description

Contemporary theories of neuroplasticity especially as related to motor control, motor learning, and motor development will be presented. Emphasis will be on applying empirical evidence to pediatric evaluation and intervention strategies. Videotapes of treatment sessions will be used to illustrate major points. Controversial issues related to spasticity, handling techniques, and early gait training will be addressed, as well as cognitive and perceptual issues related to praxis.
