Course Description

This course focuses on the critical thinking skills that therapists must use to help children achieve functional goals which lead to academic success for children with neuromotor and sensory processing challenges. Functional routines essential to academic success are identified. The essential elements for performance for each routine are identified. Tasks are broken down into essential components, and strategies to produce measurable changes in children are presented. Case studies are presented that use the sensory, motor, and cognitive foundations of the Neuro-Developmental, Sensory Integrative and Motor Learning theoretical frameworks to build school based intervention.
