Q & A Session with Shelley Mannell: Autism Spectrum Disorder and Physiotherapy
Q & A Session with Shelley Mannell: Autism Spectrum Disorder and Physiotherapy
1 hour
Introduction
Diagnosis of autism relies on social, communication, and behavioural observations with less mention of motor skill ability, yet children with this diagnosis often have clear delays in praxis, functional skill performance, strength, and endurance.
The Physiotherapist has a clear role in intervention related to these impairments in a paediatric population, but the translation into clinically oriented motor programs is lacking.
The purpose of this webinar is to give members and non-members a chance to ask questions related to:
• How do these kids present?
• What is our role?
• What frameworks exist to work with children with ASD?
• How do we work with the team - PT/OT/SLP etc.?
• Behavioural considerations
• Sensory integration considerations
• ‘Tips and Tricks’
• Highlight research
Please join Shelley Mannell and the Paediatric Division in a Q & A session devoted to the issue of children and autism.
