DESCRIPTION

The Spectrum of Developmental Disabilities activity will provide an interdisciplinary approach to the issues of motor dysfunction.

OBJECTIVES

After attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:

  • Discuss the inter-relationships between cognition, motor and behavior disorders of childhood
  • Recognize and diagnose developmental coordination disor
  • Define the contents of a successful outcome for children with motor disorders
  • Develop a reasoned evaluation for children who present with hypotonia
