KOOLITUST EI TOIMU! Using the NDTA Contemporary Practice ModelTM in Treating Infants and Toddlers (3-day training)

KOOLITUST EI TOIMU! 23- 25 April 2020 at HNRC, Estonia

Jane L. Styer-Acevedo, PT, DPT, C/NDT

Course Description:
This introductory to intermediate level course is designed for PT’s, OT’s, and SLP’s who work with or desire to work with infants & toddlers with neuromuscular challenges (birth up to 3 years). Typical and atypical development will be reviewed as they relate to one another and how the infant/toddler develops functional movement behaviors. The NDTA Contemporary Practice ModelTM will be presented as it relates to the assessment and treatment of the infant and toddler. Observation of infant movement will reinforce typical development. Experiential movement labs will be used to facilitate one another through movement transitions and to learn handling techniques on an infant-sized doll. Observation of assessment and treatment sessions will show treatment and handling techniques on a client.

Total contact hours: 19 hours

Objectives:
By the end of this course, the participant will be able to:
– Apply motor control theories supporting the NDTA Contemporary Practice ModelTM to the assessment and treatment of children with neuromuscular challenge.
– Apply the ICF model as it relates to infant/toddler assessment and treatment via video observation and assessment and treatment demonstrations.
– Identify at least 10 aspects of typical development via slides, video, and observation of infant and toddler movement
– Identify at least 10 aspects of atypical development as compared to typical development via slides and video.
– Facilitate movement transitions appropriate for the infant/toddler population on another adult and on a doll in lab.
– Promote carry-over and participation in the home and community environments via daily activities.
