COURSE List


9 Hour 3-Part Course Curriculum

This course is designed to present an overview of eye-hand coordination in terms of physiological, developmental, and functional perspectives, as well as an overview of a systems approach to assessment and task analysis

This course is designed to present an overview of hand preference in terms of cultural, social, evolutional, historical, gender, genetic and environmental factors. Normal components of hand preference are examined from the perspectives of sensory-motor development and hemispheric specialization. Informal and formal assessments are illustrated by case studies, which then present examples of how “handedness” problems can be identified and managed.

Is handwriting the problem or the symptom?

This course attempts to answer that question by reviewing the literature about handwriting and visual-perceptual-motor function, describing a performance-based assessment/intervention model, and presenting a case study that illustrates the use of that model. The knowledge base presented includes both normal and atypical development of the entire body, because upper extremity functions require dynamic postural stability of the shoulder girdle on a stable trunk and independent movement of the head from the shoulders and the arms from the shoulders. Finally, the individual child's interests and current occupational roles are primary concerns, to ensure a level of motivation required for optimal cooperation and ultimate success.
