Mastering Neurodevelopment & Primitive Reflexes - Module 2
Take your pediatric knowledge to the next level with Module 2!
Eligibility
Physiotherapists, osteopaths, and chiropractors.
Prerequisites
Must have attended the Module 1 training day.
Course Objective
Today's therapist has the opportunity to acquire high levels of knowledge and therapeutic skills depending on the diverse clientele they encounter. But what about pediatrics and neurodevelopment? Is it possible that this crucially important stage is not sufficiently understood and supported? What if supporting neurodevelopment could make a big difference in how the body presents and moves later? And if it were possible to have a positive impact on building a child's neurological foundations? This is what I want to share with you. Understand that it can be simple to support the development of a neurotypical baby and that the physical therapist has a key role within families due to their extensive awareness of neurological function. But to get there, it means we need to go back to basics, that is, movement, and address a concept often forgotten: emotional security.
This one-day course focused on a global approach to babies offers you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with or deepen your knowledge of neurodevelopment. Thus, you will understand that the way in which the baby integrates their body and their first movements, the primitive reflexes, has significant repercussions on the development of their future motor skills.
The course is inspired by various neurodevelopmental techniques and several years of observation, such as the integration of primitive reflexes and the EME approach (Enfant Mode d'Emploi).
General objectives
This training aims to go further in integrating the learning of neurodevelopment in children in its entirety, including the motor sphere, but also the emotional sphere.
It aims to integrate into the therapist the importance of establishing a safe environment. It allows you to know and explore several natural movements or primitive reflexes of the baby (2 to 6 months).
The participant will seek practical tools for the development of therapeutic "know-how" and "interpersonal skills.".
Specific Objectives
Review neurodevelopment and be able to explain it in a fair and accessible way.
Understand that the maturation of the primitive brain directly influences the development of motor, social, and cognitive skills.
Become familiar with epigenetics and know the factors that influence gene expression.
Learn the optimal motor patterns of the baby by continuing to learn about primitive reflexes, namely the ATNR, Spinal Perez, Spinal Galant, Pull-to-Sit, Plantar Grasp, and Babinski.
Recognize unintegrated primitive reflexes associated with atypical body positions observed through the baby's basic positions.
Identify signs of insecurity and inadequate maturation in the baby and young child.
Review how to maximize neurological maturation.
Understand the importance of the therapeutic relationship with the family for neurodevelopment according to the concept of emotional security.
Acquire, in a practical setting, tools that promote the maturation of the nervous system, but also collaboration in therapy.
Recognize that pediatric physiotherapy has a role to play in developmental problems.
Know how to recognize the primitive reflexes to support behind problems specific to babies such as torticollis and plagiocephaly, difficulties in the prone position, delayed transitions, and hypersensitivity.ons et l’hypersensibilité.
Solve clinical case histories using the concepts taught in modules 1 and 2.
