Description

This course presents the theory and rationale of competency-based OT and evidence-based intervention for physical, developmental, sensory integrative, perceptual/cognitive, and psychosocial dysfunctions as it applies to pediatrics. Students will apply pediatric frames of reference to specific problems, including gross, fine and oral-motor skills; behavioral and social issues, handwriting, sensory integrative, visual, cognitive, and psycho-social problems within the framework of the multicultural family. This course also discusses the role of the OTA in pediatrics.
