What is the current evidence-based research on a variety of pediatric diagnoses, including Cerebral Palsy, Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy, Down syndrome, and the medically fragile, and how do I apply this research to my clinical practice? This course will review the current evidence-based research on the effects of aquatic physical therapy. Participants in this course will gain knowledge of current evidence-based studies and be more successful with establishing treatment for children with these diagnoses.
