Motor Matters! 6-Hour Webinar
Evidence-based Interventions for Children and Youth with Autism
Autism is a whole-body condition! While sensory challenges have long been recognized, current research sheds light to the presence and impact of fine and gross motor difficulties in children and youth with autism. Occupational and physical therapy practitioners can make a difference! In this continuing education workshop, you will learn appropriate assessment of motor skills, and evidence-informed motor interventions. Case studies of children with ASD (from those requiring minimal support, to those requiring substantial support) will highlight the application of concepts.
Finally, you will understand the perspective of a parent as it relates to experience with motor learning, inclusion and participation, as well as selection of goals and intervention strategies. As a parent of a son with autism, Karen is acutely aware of the challenges families face in dealing with the chronic stress of having a child with a disability, and how collaboration with medical and educational teams can be very rewarding, though also frustrating at times.
