This course is the second in a two-part course series. The purpose of this course is to enhance the pediatric therapist’s knowledge of specialized interventions and advanced handling skills utilized in pediatric therapy practice. Participants will develop the reasoning skills needed to select and recommend appropriate assistive technology, orthotics, equipment and devices as a part of the clinical decision-making process 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. Interactive workshops will be incorporated throughout the day to apply new knowledge to specialty pediatric cases.
