OBJECTIVES
Learning Objectives
Participants completing this course will be able to:
1. Discuss the emotional regulation difficulties encountered by children with motor and sensory challenges and their impact on learning.
2. Explain the rationale of treatment of breath to address emotional regulation and postural control.
3. Compare typical and disordered breath mechanics and their impact on emotional arousal and postural control.
4. Identify the role of alignment in emotional regulation, mature postural control and learning.
5. Discuss the rationale behind different interventions to improve breath mechanics.
6. Understand the clinical application of these concepts through case studies.
