Description:

Promoting Development in Children Under 3 Years

The The majority of current research is a game.-Changer for therapists and teachers who work with children with mild-to-severe disabilities.-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-We will discuss evidence-based treatments for clinicians working with patients with complications such as cerebral palsy, developmental delay, prematurity and prematurity. Videos, hands-Activities and a case study will help to illustrate the research and information shared in this critical record.
