Many school-age children struggle with motor skills that their peers have long mastered. These "clumsy " children may exhibit difficulties with writing, activities of daily living, as well as issues with play and sports.

This lab course will provide practical and effective intervention strategies fro these children. Underlying etiologies of clumsiness (developmental incoordination disorders) as well as newer concepts of motor control and motor development will be discussed in relationship to other neurophysiologic concepts.

This course will discuss evaluation tools to isolate the roots of the problem and treatment techniques and suggestions for the classroom utilizing an integrated approach. Functional outcomes and clinical effectiveness will be emphasized.
