Everything’s Measurable!

ICF-based Approach to Pediatric OT & PT Assessment

Assess, document and recommend confidently! Everything’s Measurable! is a highly-interactive continuing education workshop on the assessment of children and youth with neurologic and developmental disabilities, 3-21 years old. Carlo will highlight the advantages of using the International Classification of Function (ICF) as a framework to guide the assessment process. He will also relate the ICF to the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF) to unify and enhance communication in OT and PT practices. Learn 100+ standardized and non-standardized tools. Carlo will highlight the use of free, functional, and easy-to-use tests for participation, personal factors, arm function, gross motor function, wheelchair mobility and body structure & function so those with limited to no budget can also implement the use of these tools. You will learn the selection, administration, interpretation and documentation to help you decide the therapy needs of the child. 12 CE Hours of Training.
