When: Thursdays from 2 to 4pm US ET

Description: As practitioners in the field of early development, educational and social performance, we are under increased pressure to provide thorough, individualized assessments in a timely manner. This 8-week course is the second tier (Silver) of the track series in Dyspraxia and to enroll, the participant would have had to complete the first tier at the bronze level.

• The information will be presented through the 3-phase system of the Developmental Pathways Model (designed by Maude Le Roux) and support the therapist to be able to discern Sensory Processing as well as different subcategories of Dyspraxia.
• An evaluation template will be provided upon which possible standardized assessments as well as clinical observations will be discussed to enhance clinical judgment and support intervention goals.
• Clinical observation forms with norms for each phase will be provided to assist in supporting standardized assessments, as well as provide a strong picture of information in situations where standardized assessments may not be possible.
• The participant will be provided the videos each week to practice the different clinical observations so the learning will be more fully integrated.
• Learners will also present their own case studies to discuss clinical thinking
• This is an intense course, but will satisfy the learners in their ability to apply the theory and science presented in Track 1
• Due to the in-depth case study discussions this workshop is limited to 12 attendees
