Description

In today's practice more and more clients are being referred for visual, motor, sensory processing, and coordination deficits related to poor self-regulation, motor, visual processing, apraxia/discoordination, and fine motor abilities. Many of these underlying deficits go undetected and thus children are slow to progress and master visual & motor goals.

This course will teach you how to recognize and help clients overcome these weaknesses, which can be difficult to address due to the complexity of the underlying limits. This workshop will improve your confidence and abilities in observation, analysis, treatment planning, and interventions to improve visual motor outcomes. Upon completion, you will understand the hidden but essential link between treatment of underlying deficits and improving visual and motor outcomes.

Highlights

  • Innovative techniques to improve your clients’ functional visual motor integration and outcomes
  • Sensory integration feedback process and how it impacts motor output and coordination

Learning Objectives

  1. Differentiate underlying deficits creating barriers to visual, motor, and visual motor integration outcomes and goal attainment.
  2. Analyze your ability and confidence to create motivating and successful treatment plans with measurable goals addressing hidden barriers to progress.
