Continuing Education Physical Therapy Cerebral Palsy
Attend the 2nd Annual CP course, without leaving the comforts of home!
This 2 day, online course will explore a holistic approach to the management of children with cerebral palsy, focusing on the relationship between body function, participation and the child's environment. Traditionally the biomedical model of treating children and their impairments has not always translated to functional improvements. The movement towards collaboration across all levels of care and within the child's different environmental contexts is pivotal in order to focus on the most important aspects of the child's development. Didactic content will discuss the importance of surgical and therapeutic management for both the upper and lower extremity. Innovative therapy will be emphasized for the child between 3-12 years of age, essential ages for goal achievement and participation. Inclusion of community based care and discussions on parents' perspectives of care will allow an in-depth exploration of the barriers to overall participation. This course will focus on clinical decision-making exploration and collaboration for consistent care and support for children and families.
