Cerebral Palsy in Children: Diagnosis, Presentation, and Evaluation

Description

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability in children. This webinar is part of an in-depth four-course series that will guide practitioners with the knowledge and tools to provide effective care for their patients with CP. This webinar will review current evidence on diagnosis and classification scales of CP as well as prepare for an effective evaluation. Lastly, we will review how to apply concepts of neuroplasticity, mirror movements, and improving participation not only in treatment but in occupation. After the lecture, there will be a Q&A session to get your most pressing questions answered.
