Praxis is a complex process based on CNS integration at many levels. These complexities are often poorly understood. To apply effective treatment strategies it is critical to identify the various elements of praxis and determine what deficiencies are contributing to delays or dysfunction in developing or expressing practic abilities. This course examines each component of praxis from both neurological and clinical perspectives with detail that provides a road map for assessment and understanding dysfunction. With this foundation, learners will then be challenged to apply practical treatment strategies that target specific dysfunctioning elements.
After taking the course, you will:
- Have a new, more complete understanding of praxis and how its components interact to affect functional performance.
- Be able to assess praxis using a clinical observation-based assessment and translate that information to treating praxis problems.
- Use top-down or bottom-up treatment strategies, as appropriate, for treating practic dysfunction.
