Neurodevelopment Short Course

THIS USES SOME OF THE SAME MODULES AS THE FULLPAEDS SERIES, SO THE MIDDLE THIRD OF THAT FULLPAEDS SERIES LOOKS AT DECVELOPMENT AND REFLEXES, AND IS INCLUDED HERE.  SOME OSTEOPATHS WISH TO LOOK AT DEVELOPMENT, IN THE OLDER CHILD, WITHOUT HAVING TO EXPLORE THE CARE OF INFANTS.  IN WHICH CASE THIS SHORT COURSE IS IDEAL. IT GIVES AN INTRODUCTION TO THIS, WITHOUT ALL THE OTHER PAEDS SERIES INFO. 

IF YOU WANT TO GO INTO MUCH GREATER DETAIL ABOUT NEURODEVELOPMENT, IMPLICATIONS FOR NEURDIVOERSITY, ETC, THEN YOU CAN FOLLOW THIS SHORT COURSE WITH THE MORE EXNTESIVE 'NEURODEVELOPMENT AND PRIMITIVE RELFEXES' PROGRAMMES, WHICH COVER THIS MATERIAL FRMO A WIDER RANGE, AND A DEEPER PERSPECTIVE, GIVING AN NEHANCVED UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHALLENGES TO NORMAL DEVELOPMENT, HOW TO CONSIDER THE REFLEX STORY, AND HOW TO HAVE AN OSTEOPATHIC APPROACH WITHIN DEVELOPMENT AND DIVERSITY 

This is an overview course, from a neurodevelopmental, neurophysiological, neuroceptive and somatoemotional perspective.  It goes through various primitive reflexes in the content of child development, not just for motor and movement development, but emotional, language and affective development, from babies through to children.  This course also though, gives an overview / introduction to arousal, autonomic tone, sensory motor integration, reflexes and their place, and testing and rehabilitation overview.  The content is derived from two specialised modules in the full paediatrics course.  This is a really good grounding for clinical practice from an osteopathic perspective.

Please note, the full Neurodevelopment, Primitive Reflexes and Neurodiversity Course, which is also available, expands on this content hugely, and gives much more guidance in terms of practice evidence and research in support of an osteopathic and manual therapy role in this field of care.
