This workshop focuses on play as a vehicle for learning for children with developmental challenges. Current information on Neuro Developmental Treatment and Sensory Integration will provide the foundation for analyzing and applying play to assessment and intervention with children of all ages to attain functional skills.
1. Describe developmentally appropriate play activities for children with neuro motor and sensory motorl challenges as a prepara tion for functional tasks.
2. Describe the essential elements of a functional skill, and identify playful interventions to facili-tate specific goals in the areas of mobility, daily living skills, tool usage and oral motor function and respiration.
3. Identify critical elements in the theoretical frameworks of NDT, SI, and Motor Learning that facilitate play and ultimately the acquisition of a functional skill in children.
4. Identify different methods for teaching, man-aging the environment, selecting equipment, and handling the child that will be playful and optimize function.
