Contact Hours - Advanced Level
This course is offered for 1.3 ASHA CEUs (Advanced Level, Related Area)
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
This two-day workshop will present an overview of the components of praxis with an emphasis on clinical assessment and intervention of practic problems. The impact of various practic problems on functional performance will be highlighted. A framework for observing, problem solving and identifying ideation, motor planning, sequencing, bilateral coordination and projected sequence problems within a sensory integration treatment model will be presented. Practical intervention strategies using both top-down and bottom-up approaches will be highlighted through videotapes, case studies and lecture formats. A previous knowledge of Sensory Integration treatment principles will be helpful.
Objectives: Participants will be able to:
1. Describe the underlying neural and sensory mechanisms of the various practic dysfunctions.
2. Observe, assess and differentiate the range of practic dysfunctions from ideation to execution problems.
3. Apply top-down and bottom-up treatment principles appropriately to different practic problems using a problem solving framework.
4. Explain how various praxis problems impact functional performance and identify strategies for improving performance.
