The Role of Perception-Action in Learning
CONTINUING EDUCATION HOURS: 1.0
LEVEL: INTRODUCTORY
TARGET AUDIENCE: Pediatric PT, OT and SLP
Pediatric therapists are looking for the most effective approach when working with their clients. One intervention, supported by current research, is the Perception-Action Approach. This one-hour on-demand webinar highlights the theory of Perception-Action and its role in the developmental and therapeutic process.
The concepts of variability, environmental affordances, manual guidance and environmental set-up will be discussed. Several short videos will be utilized to illustrate a comparison of typical and atypical motor development and specific intervention components. This alternative way of thinking will change your perception of how children acquire motor skills.
