Neuroplasticity and the Developing Brain: New Treatment Strategies

• • Describe the major processes in normal brain development
• • Restate the critical elements and research that support brain plasticity
• • Analyze varying environments in relation to "affordances" for motor behavior
• • List possible etiologies for idiopathic toe-walking
• • Explain the neurophysiologic effect of constraint-induced therapy
• • Summarize intervention strategies for children with developmental coordination disorder

Harness the potential of neuroplasticity in pediatrics by examining the most recent evidence behind it and integrating task-specific, cutting-edge strategies into your practice immediately. Join one of the leading voices in neuroplasticity, Dr. Patricia Montgomery, as she shows you intervention techniques for children with neurological-based diagnoses. Her use of videotaped treatment sessions and longitudinal case studies illustrates applications for improving motor control and cognitive and perceptual functions in children.
