Are the tests you are using for balance and mobility helping you determine and explain your pediatric client’s real-world performance? Are they helpful in planning your interventions?

This highly interactive workshop bridges the gap between tests and their applicability to real-world activities in school, at home & in the community. Carlo will present 20 essential pediatric tests of balance and mobility that are functional, and require minimal materials. Time is a scant resource…so most tests included can be completed in 15 minutes or less. Tests will cover a wide range of disabilities (mild to severe) and ages (3-18 years). Current literature will be presented to ensure reliable test administration, and to provide norms or small-group averages. You will learn to interpret and relate test results to the child’s activities throughout the day in school and at home, to assist you in determining need for your services, and in planning interventions & adaptive equipment needs. Carlo will provide you with DOs and DON’Ts for re-testing to monitor outcomes. This course has multiple hands-on laboratory time so you can practice administration, scoring and interpretation of tests. Activewear is recommended!

Leave the course with your toolbox packed with tests and measures that you can confidently apply to your every day practice!
