Due to a number of factors\, including improper positioning\, lack of typical sensorimotor opportunities\, other environmental factors\, and/or diagnoses of failure to thrive\, autism\, sensory processing disorders\, etc.\, many of today’s children are delayed in their sensorimotor development when compared with past generations. These delays are particularly apparent in lack of core strength\, proximal stability\, and upper extremity coordination. \nAlong with other treatment strategies\, gravity can be used by therapists to enhance development\, especially in the areas of sensorimotor processing\, reflex integration and motor coordination. A variety of intervention strategies that engage vestibular mechanisms and take advantage of gravitational influences\, including some innovative equipment\, will be discussed and demonstrated via labs and video presentation. \nLocation\nOnline \nSchedule\n\n \n Full Agenda \n \n \nFriday\, August 12\, 2016\, 8:30am – 4:30pm CDT \nLevel\nIntroductory \nCourse Objectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nDiscuss the role that gravity plays in typical infant development.\nList the ways that positioning and other environmental influences can obstruct or enhance sensorimotor development.\nDemonstrate at least 3-4 strategies to facilitate reflex integration and sensorimotor development.\nDescribe innovative equipment for enhancing sensorimotor development and how to use them.\n\n\n \n Continuing Ed \n \n \nVital Links is an AOTA approved provider of continuing education.
