Course Information
This advance lecture and demonstration course is designed to assist physical therapist, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists and members of the pediatric interdisciplinary team, in obtaining optimal outcomes for humans, 16 years of age and under, that are developing and growing dysfunctional patterns of movement-based, cognitive, communicative, proprioceptive and kinesthetic behavior. The pediatric Posterior Exterior Chain (Bilateral PEC), spatial preference related to human underlying hemispheric specialization, central auditory and visual processing, and dependency on primitive tonic reflexes (STNR, ATNR, and TLR) will be related to the asymmetrical growth and development of the adolescent/juvenile airway, the diaphragmatic function (AIC) and the pulmonary flow (BC). Treatment program development and demonstration are designed to help the pediatric individual optimize gross motor milestone acquistion, functional balanced awareness and security during forward locomotor movement, upper extremity coordination and interlimb purpose, and enjoyable kinesemiotic exploration. Common compensatory recognition, challenges, set up of activities, and what type of pediatric individual would benefit from each technique will be presented and discussed, along with recommendations and suggestions that should optimize individual compliance and interest.
Prior attendance of Myokinematic Restoration and Postural Respiration is required.
Education Level: Advanced
Cost: $575 (Early registration rate: At least 4 weeks before the course)

Live Stream courses will take place from 8am-5pm CT each day, and certificates of completion/CE credit will be awarded the following week after completion of the course evaluation survey and short post-test. For more information on whether your state/organization is approved for CE approval, please click on the "Accreditation" tab below. Live Stream courses will be engaging, interactive and include demonstration of objective testing and/or non-manual techniques, in addition to course attendees being able to ask questions throughout the course. All that’s needed on your end is reliable internet access, a webcam, microphone and speaker (or a smart phone can be used if you do not have a computer or laptop with this capability). The course manual will be shipped directly to you 1-2 weeks before the course. *International registrants will receive access to a digital version of the course manual. In addition, participants will receive access to the recording of the live stream course for 14 days to review the material, and re-watch any material that may have been missed due to connection issues. Those who attend in-person during a live streamed course will also receive access to the recording for 14 days. Extensions beyond this 14 day review are not available. ***Please note: In order to receive access to the recording for review, you must participate in person on the Live Stream course with your camera on for at least half of the course (8 hours). If you sign up for the course and do not participate in at least 8 hours of the live stream, you will not receive the recording and you will not be refunded. Also, once course manuals have been shipped (or emailed to international attendees), there will be no refunds for cancellations.***
