CCS Best Practices Virtual Conference: Telehealth and Pediatric Therapy
Sponsored by The Association of Pediatric Therapists
“Necessity is the mother of invention.”
In these unique times we find ourselves having to change what we do and how we do it on a continual basis. As therapists we fortunately are creative and have great critical thinking skills so that we can adapt to changes. But is there a better way? When it comes to telehealth and pediatric therapy there is a body of literature from which we can learn from to that we can interact with our clients and their families to continue to achieve functional goals.
Learning Objectives: (.40 CEUs, pending with CAPTA and OTAC)
This conference will summarize current best practice to maximize outcomes with telehealth in a pediatric population.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the correlation between 2 distinct periods of abundant neuroplasticity and optimal therapy service delivery for cerebral palsy and other related neurological disorders.
2. List 4 main therapeutic intervention categories, in the correct order of application, for effective treatment of cerebral palsy in a telehealth environment
3. Identify 2 coaching strategies for empowering child and family participation during telehealth therapy and beyond
