Promoting Development in Children Under 3 Years

The most current research can be a game-changer for therapists, teachers, and family resources personnel working with children suffering from mild to severe disabilities in the 0-3 age range.  This recording will provide updated information on normal development, and how to spot even the most difficult to pinpoint signs of delay.

An in-depth description of the development of the sensory systems, (vision, touch, smell, taste, auditory, proprioception, and vestibular), will be given to maximize the assessment of a child’s motor, coping, and self-regulation strategies. Specific evidence-based treatment techniques for clinicians with patients who have complications related to prematurity, developmental delay, and cerebral palsy will be addressed. Videos, hands-on activities, and a case study will further evince the research and information shared in this critical recording.

1. Recognize normal development for children from 0-3, including the development of 7 sensory systems – starting with in utero development
2. Develop communication strategies with family and caregivers to decide on best practices to support therapy goals and maximize outcomes
3. Duplicate tools to assess motor skills, self-regulation, growth, and coping strategies of premature infants
4. Recognize 4 strategies for treating infants and young children with cerebral palsy
5. Examine the most current equipment used with young children, including the Go Baby Go program
6. Implement Massery’s Multi-system analysis, the Goal Attainment Scaling, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, and the ICF-CY
