We are happy to present two webinars on Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control, presented by Sandra Saavedra, MS, PT, PhD.

• • • • Webinar 1: Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control: Administration, Scoring and Psychometric Properties

• • • • Webinar 2: Using SATCo for Adaptive Positioning Decisions: Determining Level and Types of Support 

Sandra Saavedra, MS, PT, PhD is a pediatric researcher and Associate Professor at the University of Hartford. She has more than 25 years of clinical experience as a pediatric PT, and is a national leader in researching, teaching and applying segmental principles to treatment of posture impairments in infants all the way to older children, from those with mild to severe disabilities. She played a major role in the refinement and validation of the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo). She works with various clinical and school-based settings to apply SATCo principles to assessment, interventions, selection of adaptive equipment and measuring outcomes.

Disclosures: Sandra receives a speaking fee from Apply EBP, LLC. She has no relevant nonfinancial relationships to disclose.

At the completion of the course, you are expected to:

1. 1. Identify 2 examples of how using the SATCo can promote a child’s function and participation in meaningful activities

   3. Select the correct SATCo score and level of trunk control based on a completed SATCo score form
   4. Identify three important positioning principles to improve upright control in a child with postural dysfunction.
   5. Identify how children use “closed kinetic chain” strategies to support their posture.
   6. Determine the starting level of external support to promote a child’s meaningful activities such as education, mealtime or others, on a given case scenario with SATCo scores.
