Dyspraxia – Defining, Assessing and Intervening for Change
When: November 14, 15 & 16, 2026 (In Person)
Location: Manila, Philippines
Description
Why would you want to do a certificate workshop in Praxis / Dyspraxia? Because you want to be a leader in your field in understanding development and what to do about it! This workshop will tell you what it is, how to define the different subsections of it as well as show you how and what to assess so you could plan targeted intervention. This workshop has been renewed, and re-organized to include the most recent science and evidenced based practice including multiple videos showing intervention and assessment. This 3-day certificate course will include the theory of different sub-categories of Dyspraxia and explain the background in the nervous system. Multiple techniques and interventions will be shared to plan intervention. The third day will cover in-depth information on assessment and clinical observations following the three-phase system of Maude’s own Developmental Pathways Model (DPM). This is a workshop not to be missed for anyone working in the field of pediatrics, schools, and early learning. Discover how Dyspraxia influences learning, attention, and executive functioning.

Presenter:
Maude Le Roux, OTR/L is an international speaker considering a wide array of topics pertaining development in children. She has been a regular speaker at global events since 2007. Even as she travels and trains extensively, she continues to operate a pediatric practice in Glen Mills, PA. Maude designs her own courses, as well as trains for other organizations such as ICDL (DIR/Floortime) globally. She serves on the Board for ATTACh to develop the consideration of attachment and trauma in the work of occupational therapists. Maude “re-energizes” as she teaches and inspires her listeners to feel the importance of the work they do. She co-authored a book, “Our Greatest Allies” with Lauren O’Malley, available on Amazon.com. Maude opened her own online academy (www.maudeleroux.com) in January 2019 to increase accessibility of practical “know-how” based on scientific theory for therapists, teachers, and parents. Her mantra: ‘If a child could, he / she would!”
