Learning Outcomes

​

At the conclusion of this KoganSteps professional development activity, participants will be able to:
 

1. Analyze embodiment concepts and body-based practices and demonstrate an understanding of why they are effective treatment approaches for children with autism and other neurological challenges.

​

2. Identify how functional movement skills can promote emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration to improve health and wellbeing.   

​

3. Develop 2 or more hypotheses of why children who learn differently may benefit more from a structured movement program than other more traditional methods. 

​

4. Identify the three elements of movement – Space, Time, and Energy – and analyze how they can become a therapeutic intervention for motor control, attention, and social skills.

​

5. Analyze a simple assessment tool, The Movement Evaluation Continuum, to identify diminished movement skills and motor control deficits in an individual child or group of children.

​

6. Develop a minimum of three informed, targeted movement strategies to be integrated into existing treatment plans.

​

7. Analyze how rhythm, synchronization, and a positive response to music can impact change.

​

8. Adapt commonly used movement vocabulary words to one’s professional practice and field of expertise.

​

9. Identify three interventions that focus on either sensory processing, imitation, rhythm, body awareness, or spatial orientation.
