Have you ever thought – This child is so involved and not know where to start? We all have. This course with Karen Pryor PhD, PT, DPT, ND, CPRCS with over 40 years of experience, will assist you in the organization of evaluation skills that sequentially lead to successful treatments and goals for your patient. Journey through complex cases with the nervous system in mind. With a clear understanding of the structure of the central nervous system, the evaluation then proceeds with clear information and reveals treatments to initiate. Learn to simplify multiple diagnoses, treatments and goals into functional home programs for patient families. Clear understanding of the reasons for activities in the home setting is essential to assure compliance. Practice makes pathways.
Karen Pryor, PhD, PT, DPT, has a doctorate in physical therapy and has practiced for 40 years in the field. Involved with birth to three through early intervention since 1986, she developed techniques to be utilized in homes, childcare centers, and school systems to advance therapy programs in children.
