Get ready for an interactive, hands-on workshop designed to elevate your clinical skills in working with children with cerebral palsy and other neurological disorders!

This dynamic and immersive course integrates the latest advancements in motor learning science with the foundational principles of Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT), providing you with practical, evidence-informed tools to enhance upright postural control and functional movement in your clients.

Through engaging lectures, real-world patient demonstrations, and intensive hands-on lab sessions, you will develop expertise in assessing posture and alignment during dynamic movement, applying task analysis to identify movement challenges, and designing meaningful, individualized interventions that drive functional progress.

Whether you are an occupational therapist, physical therapist, or speech-language pathologist, this workshop will deepen your clinical reasoning skills and equip you with innovative strategies to make therapy more effective, engaging, and enjoyable for the children and families you serve.

Don’t miss this opportunity to refine your practice and empower your clients to move with greater stability, confidence, and independence!

This intensive workshop offers an in-depth exploration of evaluation and intervention strategies tailored for children with cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions. Grounded in the latest scientific research and contemporary theories of motor behavior, the course is designed to advance participants’ clinical reasoning and decision-making skills within the evidence-based framework of the Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) Practice Model.

The workshop integrates didactic lecture, live patient demonstrations, and immersive hands-on lab sessions to facilitate a deep understanding of effective strategies for enhancing upright postural control. Emphasis is placed on practical application, enabling clinicians to confidently implement facilitation techniques and intervention approaches that promote improved stability, functional independence, and participation in everyday activities.

By the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be equipped with advanced tools and evidence-informed methods to enhance their therapeutic impact and support meaningful outcomes for children with neurological impairments.

Core strength is the foundation for everything—posture, breathing, learning, and even social engagement. Yet, more and more children are entering school without the core stability needed for success in the classroom and beyond. Weak core muscles can contribute to poor posture, inefficient breathing patterns, decreased endurance, and even musculoskeletal pain, impacting a child’s ability to focus, move, and participate fully in daily activities.

This interactive, hands-on seminar is designed for OT, PT, and SLP professionals working in pediatric settings who want to go beyond the abdominals and explore the full spectrum of core stability. You’ll learn how to perform a quick yet effective postural assessment and implement evidence-based interventions that target core activation, endurance, and functional movement. Walk away with practical, easy-to-integrate strategies that will help your clients build the foundational strength they need to sit taller, breathe better, and move with confidence!

Children on the autism spectrum often experience motor challenges that impact balance, coordination, and functional movement. This one-hour webinar equips physiotherapists with innovative, neurodivergent-affirming strategies to support these children through engaging, evidence-informed interventions. You’ll explore how Virtual reality, IASTM, WBV, physical activity, music & cadence can be used effectively within an inclusive, child- and family-led framework.

We’ll also discuss the importance of collaborative functional goal setting and the ethical considerations of behavior-focused therapies—highlighting the shift from traditional compliance-based models to an affirming approach that values the autonomy and lived experiences of individuals with autism. Join us to enhance your clinical toolkit while honoring neurodivergent voices. Information will be provided via lecture and photo/video of intervention strategies.

This interactive workshop introduces participants to the foundational biomechanics of the lower extremity through the lens of Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT). Emphasis will be placed on translating this knowledge into effective, hands-on intervention strategies to support functional transfers and gait.

The session combines lecture, guided discussion, and lab-based practice to promote deeper understanding and immediate clinical application. Participants will explore the principles of facilitation, key points of control, and task-specific movement analysis. By the end of the workshop, attendees will be equipped with practical tools to apply NDT-based interventions that enhance mobility and participation in real-world settings.

This dynamic workshop offers clinicians an in-depth exploration of evaluation and intervention strategies for children with cerebral palsy and other neurological diagnosis. Grounded in Contemporary Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) principles, the course emphasizes the integration of hands-on handling techniques to support functional outcomes in pediatric practice.

Participants will learn to assess clients using the NDT Practice model and apply task analysis to structure effective, goal-oriented interventions. Through a combination of lecture, patient demonstrations, and lab-based practice, attendees will gain practical tools and clinical reasoning strategies to enhance their intervention approach.

The focus will be on applying what is learned directly to practice, empowering participants to deliver more targeted and meaningful care.

This interactive workshop offers hands-on lab experiences focused on the use of movable surfaces—such as therapy balls, bolster, swings—as effective tools in pediatric neurological intervention. 

The course emphasizes the application of Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) principles, with multiple facilitation techniques demonstrated and practiced using dynamic surfaces. Participants will engage in active labs, alternating roles as therapist and “client,” to build confidence and competence in applying these strategies in real-world settings.

Please be mindful of your own physical abilities and dress in loose, comfortable clothing—ideally shorts and a top. Each participant should bring a therapy ball that allows for approximately 90/90 sitting alignment. The workshop format includes lecture, discussion, and lab practice, with a strong focus on practical application that can be immediately integrated into clinical practice.
