Handling and Problem Solving for Function

See all courses from Care Resources

Instructor's Name: Linda Kliebyhan

This 2-day course is designed for experienced pediatric physical, occupational and speech therapists who are interested in improving their problem-solving skills in order to achieve more efficient functional outcomes for children with Neuro-Motor disorders such as Cerebral Palsy and Down Syndrome. Emphasizing a NDT ( Neuro-Developmental Treatment) framework, the course will utilize client videos as a basis for problem solving sessions and handling labs. Therapists will have the opportunity to develop short and long-term functional outcomes, analyze multi-system and single-system impairments and develop treatment plans. Labs will focus on handling strategies that address the priority impairments and facilitate optimal control of posture and movement. Carryover strategies for home, school and community will also be discussed.
