This course focuses on treatment. It addresses the necessity of a plan to teach the child the normal movement development that occurs during the first year, transitioning form a flexed to a an upright body, and from a clenched to an open hand. It breaks down functions into basic prerequisites – and we discuss how, with precise tasks that mimic normal development, we help the brain learn to control different parts of the body. We go through training programs for children of different ages, discuss how we can create dynamic orthoses that support development without diminishing weighbearing and mobility but instead strive for normal function. The course covers training at different ages and participation in school sports and leisure activities. It is our hope to also include young people with hemiplegia who can tell us about their training and the results they have achieved.
In the course you will, among other things, learn about
- How do I need to think when a child is born with a hemiplegia and has an undeveloped ability to move?
- What is the actual problem when the child has difficulty performing movements? How can I make them happen and in what order should I try to teach the child things?
- How can we get staff in preschool to work with the body? How can we adapt the environment for training both practical functions and gross motor skills? How do we talk about hemiplegia with others?
- The nine-year crisis at school – identity? Examples of training in school age children and challenges with participation in school sports and crafts – how do I get graded at school? Belonging within both “normal and disabled”.
- Visit of teenager with hemiplegia – experiences of training and results during school age.
- What is needed in the future? Technology and training- what possibilities do we have and what already exists?
