COURSE DESCRIPTION

Part one of this course is designed for physical & occupational therapists and speech language pathologists and assistants, their assistants, paediatricians, and paediatric nurses who currently work or desire to work with children and youth diagnosed with neuromuscular challenges. Using the North American NDTA^TM Contemporary Practice Model, participants will learn to critically assess clients through observations and analysis and hypothesize the causative impairments that interfere with the successful achievement of specific functional goals. Intervention strategies and treatment sequences towards achieving a child/client-specific functional goal will be presented and observed through video clips and photos.

 

Course content is based on the NDTA^TM Contemporary Practice Model and the International Classification of Function (ICF) in gathering information, writing goals, and planning a sequenced treatment session to promote participation in the child and family’s life.

 

Observation of the instructor’s assessment and treatment demonstrations in Part Two will provide an opportunity for 18 therapists to integrate the information presented in class so the participant can readily apply the concepts to their current caseload.

 

These 18 therapists must have attended Part One as Part Two places emphasis on handling the other course participants in supervised labs to learn assessment and treatment strategies applicable to various diagnostic groups and sizes of clients. Therapists will learn how to move and be moved by another adult through treatment strategies geared towards specific impairments and functions that interfere with achievement of identified functional goals.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

 At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Explain the Theoretical Basis for the NDTA^TM Contemporary Practice Model as it relates to their clinical practice.
2. Describe the major events that occur during the first year of development via slides, videos, and observation of assessment & treatment demonstrations.
3. Recognize and describe the differences between atypical & typical development of children via slides, videos, and observation of assessment & treatment demonstrations.
4. List the strengths and challenges of a child with neuromuscular and sensory/perceptual impairments through observation of an instructor demonstration of assessment and treatment according to the ICF.
5. Identify functional goals and discuss potential treatment plans based on task analysis and the identified functional goal.
6. Facilitate another individual through desired movements and treatment strategies while limiting inefficient movement.
7. Select carry-over strategies and participation opportunities in the home and community environments via daily activities.
