This seminar will help you understand, diagnose and treat a paediatric patient with neuro-developmental delay

2 hours

Seminar 1 introduces you to primitive reflexes through a neuro-developmental lens. It contains practical components with diagnosis and assessment tools that allows you to draw a diagnostic picture for a paediatric patient with neuro-developmental delay.

 

The principles covered in this seminar will help you:

  • Gain a better understanding of what a primitive reflex is and what developmental delay is

  • Develop a clear diagnostic picture of how to diagnose primitive reflexes and neuro-developmental delay in children

  • Better understand, diagnose and assist in the treatment of a paediatric patient with neuro-developmental delay.
