Course Description:

This three-day course focuses on typical and atypical development of babies aged 0-24 months.

Some babies may have a diagnosis of cerebral palsy or have conditions that also affect their sensory-motor development. Treatment will consist of therapeutic handling of babies by course participants.

Baby Stretches

Learning Objectives:

At the end of the three-day course you will:

  • Understand typical and atypical sensory-motor development through movement analysis.

  • Recognise sensory-motor impairments in babies and its impact on motor, social and cognitive behaviour.

  • Identify key impairments in babies and prioritise them.

  • Write functional goals for baby treatment.

  • Develop a treatment plan based on the functional goal.

  • Use therapeutic handling to facilitate activity and provide a better sensory-motor experience.

Course Activities:

Teaching methods include PowerPoint presentations, video analysis, treatment demonstrations and facilitate sessions.

​

IMPORTANT: We recommend bringing baby dolls (20-24") to practise therapeutic handling. There will be opportunities for handling babies under supervision.
