Motor learning in cerebral palsy & home programs-for parents

Discover New Approaches to Cerebral Palsy Intervention: A Course for Parents

Recent research and advancements in neuroscience are revolutionizing how we understand and support children with cerebral palsy. Key concepts like neural plasticity, motor learning theory, and dynamic systems theory are reshaping approaches to physiotherapy and home interventions.

This course empowers parents of children with cerebral palsy with a deeper understanding of the brain mechanisms driving motor performance and improvement. Learn to identify activities that can truly benefit your child and avoid those that might be detrimental to their progress.

We translate complex, evidence-based knowledge into easy-to-understand language, providing practical tips and analyzing their application in everyday home practice. Gain the confidence to adjust your child's home program and promote significant motor gains.

What you'll learn:

• Neural Plasticity: Understand how the brain adapts and changes, opening doors for motor skill development.
• Motor Learning Theory: Explore the principles of how we learn and refine movements.
• Dynamic Systems Theory: Discover how movement arises from the interaction of multiple systems within the body.

This course focuses on the most relevant aspects of these fields, respecting your current knowledge level. While a comprehensive exploration isn't possible within the course timeframe, you'll gain a powerful foundation for informed decision-making regarding your child's care. Leave with a fresh perspective on your current practices and practical strategies to foster motor benefits for your child with cerebral palsy.
