Enhancing Occupational Performance Through Motor Learning – Live Webinar
February 14 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am MST
Motor learning principles through the lens of occupational therapy, emphasizing their application in diverse contexts, will be explored in this course. Participants will compare and contrast motor learning approaches with occupational analysis, examine the role of fundamental movements in developing integrative functional motor skills, and evaluate strategies to generalize motor skills within therapeutic settings. Special focus is placed on tailoring interventions for clients with ADHD and ASD, ensuring practical, evidence-based solutions for enhancing occupational engagement.
