description

This course provides comprehensive clinical training in upper extremity function and occupational therapy for children with cerebral palsy, based on evidence based practice and real clinical application.

Participants will explore the development of childhood occupations, upper limb function, and key rehabilitation theories. The course covers detailed assessment strategies including standardized pediatric tests and outcome measures, enabling clinicians to perform accurate evaluation.

The program focuses on effective intervention approaches including motor control, motor learning, sensory integration, and hand skills development. It also addresses visual system components, cortical visual impairment, visual perception, and visual motor integration such as eye hand coordination and handwriting.

Delivered within a child and family centered framework, this course enhances clinical reasoning and equips therapists with practical skills for effective pediatric rehabilitation.
