Improving Function: Tools to Enhance Motor Learning, Motor Control and Strength - A lab course
Education Resources, Inc.
Format(s): Live Seminars
Discipline(s): Physical Therapy / Occupational Therapy
Contact Hours: 14
Registration Fee: $435.00
Objectives
Upon completion of course, participants will be able to:
1. Generate functional and measurable outcomes in
a top-down intervention approach, in consideration
of the contextual factors of the ICF.
2. Integrate evidence based outcome tools throughout
assessment and treatment to guide intervention
and document progress and outcomes for function,
participation and age appropriate activities.
3. Analyze the effect of strength on motor function and
motor control using evidence-based assessment
tools.
4. Identify evidence based strengthening intervention
programs integrating motor learning neuroplasticity,
and motor control approaches.
5. Evaluate the effectiveness of intervention programs
on the activity and participation of children with
disabilities.

This intermediate level course is designed for Occupational
Therapists, Occupational Therapist Assistants,

Description
This intermediate level lecture and lab course will
explore how characteristics of cerebral palsy, autism,
and other neuromotor diagnoses influence motor control,
motor learning, strength, and function for children
from birth to teens. Evidence-based examination and
intervention strategies will be presented to promote
motor learning and achievement of personal, functional
outcomes in light of a child's specific diagnosis. Using
the ICF as a framework for practice, case studies and
lab sessions will provide attendees opportunities to
integrate the information provided with clinical judgement
to develop outcomes, examination plans, and
intervention activities for a given child. Therapists will
learn to apply valid and reliable tools to measure responses
to intervention over time in order to set treatment
priorities, document progress and modify intervention.
