#7355 Improving Coordination for the “Clumsy” Child - Webcast

#7355 Improving Coordination for the “Clumsy” Child is organized by MotivationsCEU.

Description:
Many school-aged children struggle with higher level motor skills that their peers have developed. These “clumsy” children may demonstrate difficulties with activities of daily living, handwriting, during recess or athletics. The ability to move safely in a coordinated manner requires upright postural control and an accurate understanding of the relationship between self and the environment. This is developed though movement experiences, both successful and erroneous. In this webinar, the underlying etiology of clumsiness, concepts of motor learning and motor control will be discussed in relationship to neuroplasticity and the NDTA™ Contemporary Practice of NDT. The course will discuss evaluation tools to help identify areas of concern and treatment strategies utilizing an integrated approach. Course instruction method includes: Lecture, Demonstration, Videos, Case Studies, and Question/Answer.

Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:

1. Identify the NDTA™ Contemporary Practice of NDT as it relates to identifying priority impairments
2. Deconstruct current research related to the etiology of the clumsy child, neuroplasticity, motor learning and motor control
3. Identify how the use of evidence-based NDT strategies to improve impairments in sensation and movement, postural control, and perception, leads to improved functional outcomes, such as educational participation and ADL performance.
4. Organize a treatment session based on a provided case study
