Therapists are bombarded with new information on brain function and new techniques to improve functional mobility.

They will become familiar with and select from new approaches including: MOVE, Conductive Education, Compression Garments, MEDEK and TAMO. Focus will be on children with cerebral palsy and children with severe motor impairments as well as others with positioning and mobility challenges. Evidence based interventions will be emphasized to achieve measurable functional goals.
