This course is the first in a two-part course series. The purpose of this course is to enhance the pediatric therapist’s knowledge of administration and interpretation of outcome measures utilized with the pediatric population in various settings, as well as advanced handling skills utilized in pediatric therapy practice. Participants will develop the reasoning skills needed to select and administer outcome measures to interpret and apply during the clinical decision-making process as part of pediatric therapy. Didactic and laboratory instruction will include some review of professional DPT pediatric therapeutics material, with emphasis placed on enhancing skills, particularly clinical reasoning skills, from that level. Lab sessions will involve specific hands-on techniques related to the outcome measures currently being covered.
