Praxis
is a complex process based on CNS integration at
many levels. These complexities are often poorly understood.
To apply effective treatment strategies it is critical
to identify the various elements of praxis and determine
what deficiencies are contributing to delays or dysfunction
in developing or expressing practic abilities. This course
examines each component of praxis from both neurological
and clinical perspectives with detail that provides a road
map for assessment and understanding dysfunction. With
this foundation, learners will then be challenged to apply
practical treatment strategies that target specific dysfunctioning
elements.
After taking the course, you will:
• Have
a new, more complete understanding of praxis and how
its components interact to effect functional performance.
•
Be able to assess praxis using a clinical observation-based
assessment and translate that information to treating praxis
problems.
•
Use top-down or bottom-up treatment strategies, as appropriate,
for treating practic dysfunction.
