Autonomy in movement is life changing – and you’re at the front lines, working to facilitate that change for your patients. Positively impact clinical outcomes with evidence-based therapeutic strategies to effectively examine and intervene. By identifying issues early on and addressing them, the brain’s plasticity allows the impact of your interventions to be much more comprehensive. You’ll be able to customize treatment plans for each child’s unique challenges and also offer solutions for their parents to integrate into their daily lives. Learn how to apply innovative techniques that completely redefine what’s possible for your patients’ independence and problem-solving. 

1. Integrate the principles of motor learning into early intervention practices to maximize potential for independent motor exploration.
2. Design effective examination, intervention, and outcome measurement practices to guide evidence-based intervention practices and document progress toward outcomes.
3. Prepare for the challenge of our contribution to the early diagnosis of cerebral palsy and identification of appropriate and timely intervention referrals.

Maximize potential for independent motor exploration

• Integrate principles of motor learning
• Interaction of Diagnosis
• Effective early intervention plans that promote motor learning/exploration

Framework for effective examination, intervention and outcome measurement

• International classification of function, disability and health (ICF)
• Observable and measurable outcomes
• Reliable and valid tools
• Task-specific practices to integrate into treatment plans
• Case study: down syndrome pairing movement and cognition for problem-solving
• Embrace technology

Contributing to the Early Diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy

• Context-focused therapy
• Early intervention of CP – certifications and examination tools
• Enhance motor learning and cognition
• Appropriate and timely intervention referrals
