Description:
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.
Suggested Audience: Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists and Early Intervention Specialists

Objectives: Participants will be able to:
1.

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
