This two-day lab intensive workshop on treating the child using the ball will focus on treatment strategies to address specific motor concerns while using a therapy ball as the intervention tool. Techniques to promote range of motion, joint mobility, alignment, symmetrical control, strength, righting and equilibrium control as well as variety in sensory experiences will be discussed and practiced on adult partners during lab. Application of ball techniques on children will be demonstrated through use of videotapes, as well as patient demonstrations when children are available. Participants will learn treatment strategies that can be applied in various practice settings to improve functional performance and independence in children of all ages (infants through school age) who are challenged by all types of sensory/motor issues. -
