  2. You will recognize evidence-based principles to guide your motor interventions for CP.

Course overview

The research we are reviewing in this course showcases how far we've come in the prevention, early detection, and treatment of cerebral palsy (CP) in children. The authors also explore the strength of the evidence behind 182 interventions for CP, organizing them into an "evidence traffic light." This is an important paper for all OTs to read-not just because CP is one of the most common physical disabilities we see on our caseloads, but because the paper is so well written. The authors do a fantastic job of highlighting the general trends behind what works, what doesn't work, and the progress that still needs to be made. After reviewing the article, I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Iona Novak, OT, PhD., one of the article's authors. Her and I will discuss the implications for your occupational therapy practice.
