LIVE VIRTUAL WEBINAR with Kim Barthel - NDT for ASD: Neuro-Developmental Treatment for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Live Stream Webinar and Recorded Access until March 20, 2022
December 8 - 11, 2021
3pm - 7pm (PST) each day
4 days with a total of 8 Modules (each Modules will be 90 minutes, 2 Modules per day w/1 hour break between Modules)
Instructors:
- Kim Barthel, BMR, OTR, C/NDT
Course Description:
Movement challenges are the functional limitations most often neglected in the treatment of children with ASD. Current motor control literature and neurobiological research highlight the motor systems impairments in the increasing prevalence of the ASD diagnosis. Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) is a frame of reference that guides clinicians in the analysis and treatment of posture and movement. This cutting-edge workshop will apply NDT principals, assessment, and intervention in treating the movement challenges of children on the spectrum. Comparing and contrasting between ASD compensatory motor patterns and typical motor development will be emphasized, offering a foundation for the facilitation of new motor learning through lecture, videotape analysis and virtual lab. This live-online learning experience will be recorded and available for viewing for 90 days.
Course objectives:
• Understand neurobiological and motor control research foundations of the movement impairments in ASD
• Describe Neuro-Developmental Treatment foundations of assessment and intervention for individuals with ASD
• Appreciate the comparison of components of movements observed in typical development and movements observed in children on the spectrum
• Acquire introductory handling skills and play schemes to enhance the unique motor learning and functional impairments for children on the spectrum
