COURSE SYNOPSIS
Clinicians treating children with movement challenges of upper extremity function need toknow the functional anatomy, typical development, and biomechanics necessary to facilitate movements that produce measurable change in daily function. This PD training experiencefor PTs, OTs and SLPs is in a hybrid format combining the convenience of online theoretical learning with the practical applications from in-person hands-on experiential learning.
Part 1: Foundations of Upper Extremity Movement – On Demand Series.
This online series is foundational to the in-person learning segment of the hybrid course. Through online lecture and labs, participants will expand their knowledge in the musculoskeletal, kinesiological and developmental contributions to upper extremity movement and functional skills.
Part 2: Assessment and Treatment of Upper Extremity Movement
This in-person course held in Singapore will complement the online foundational learning, allowing for assessment and treatment to be introduced and experienced by the participants first-hand. There will be group discussions, live demonstrations and active labs, offering opportunities for enhanced clinical reasoning and providing a hunger for further expertise.

Part 2 (F2F):
Describe Neuro-Developmental Treatment principles for the treatment of upper extremity function
Demonstrate analysis and facilitation of trunk control for upper extremity function Exhibit analysis and facilitation of the shoulder girdle
Appreciate the stages of typical motor development as a reference for treatment of the hand in children with neuromotor challenges
Demonstrate facilitation of the hand in preparation for function
