DIR 431: Accessing the Power of Emotion and Motor Function

The next course offering is expected to be open for registration soon.  Please check back.  

Thank you.  

Course Description

The focus of this webinar is to bridge the gap between emotional and motor behavior by understanding the foundation of emotion and motor development in a simultaneous manner. The NDT contemporary practice model will focus on critical components of gross and fine motor development paired with the development of relationship through the DIR Model. Motor development occurs with purpose and meaning and in the context of relationship. Regulation and postural organization are interrelated and will be connected through observation of videos. The utilization of these models is easily transferable to clinical use and parent education.

Instructional method: Live Online lecture with video case studies

No pre-requisites, but participants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the DIR model (www.icdl.com) and Motor Development.
