DESCRIPTION
This two-day course helps clinicians improve their decision-making skills when working with people who have cerebral palsy. It covers important and complex topics to help achieve optimal rehabilitation outcomes. Day one will emphasize comprehensive assessment including selective motor control, spasticity and selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR)/ventral-dorsal rhizotomy (VDR) evaluation, vision considerations and the strategic application of outcome measures to guide clinical decision making. Day two will focus on evidence-informed intervention planning featuring rehabilitation protocols for SDR, rehabilitation protocols post upper extremity surgery, intervention strategies for ataxia, use of transcutaneous stimulation and the development of effective individualized plans of care. Ample time will be dedicated to case-based learning and structured discussion to promote reflective practice and enhance clinical insight. Throughout the course, participants will strengthen their ability to analyze complexity, select and justify appropriate assessments and interventions and deliver high-quality person-centered care for individuals with cerebral palsy.
