LIVE WEBINARS
11.5 Contact Hours
This course will teach clinicians to develop interventions based on
etiologies to produce successful long term outcomes.
Through an organized evaluation procedure, specific data will be
used to direct the clinician to potential etiologies.
Causes and appropriate intervention strategies are identified in order to utilize a systematic approach to developing an effective treatment plan. This course challenges the clinician to ask the correct questions in order to form a systematic approach to treating the child who “toe walks.”

Toe Walking: In Depth Clinical Applications
7 Contact Hours
Recommended to complete "Evaluation & Treatment"
Clinicians will expand upon what was previously learned to identify an
etiology-based problem list, choose suitable, appropriate, and feasible
interventions and develop a relevant plan of care specific to the
problems of each individual child.
Participants must attend Therapeutic Evaluation & Treatment first.

Treatment of Motor Issues in Children with Sensory Dysfunction
12 Contact Hours
Gain practical “Sensory-Aware” tools to treat children with both underlying gross motor and sensory dysfunction. You will learn to utilize sensory-aware skills that are based in functional strengthening and coordination activities to maximize the effectiveness of your treatments. You will leave this course with the ability to improve children’s postural control, foundational weakness, instability, incoordination, motor planning, and restricted mobility by utilizing sensory knowledge to improve functional outcomes and increase participation in school and at home.
Can be taken alone, but is a great follow up to the first Toe Walking course!

Don't Wait For Gait! Therapeutic Evaluation & Treatment of Pediatric Gait
12.5 Contact Hours
This course clearly explains the significant components of evaluation and treatment of pediatric gait, in a clinically relevant manner. Flaws of a “wait and see” approach will be discussed, while supporting proactive & preventive intervention with proposed methods for deliberate, realistic & effective intervention for pediatric gait. The increased prevalence of developmental delay will be considered, with proposed etiologies, assessment of pre-gait skill performance, related orthopedic consequences and the future effects of this diagnosis on postural control and ambulation. Neuroplasticity, and the opportunities it provides for therapists, is explained. Orthopedic development is presented as it concerns appropriate development of an adequate base of support and assessment of the pediatric lower quarter. In summary, participants will leave with skills and treatment tools to immediately put into practice.
