Join your colleagues during this session for dynamic group discussions about best practice in pediatric physical therapy. Attendees will participate in Team-Based Learning activities, sharing their knowledge, experiences, and skills, to problem-solve and come to a team consensus on clinical decisions. Participants will review a case study that is designed to address pediatric physical therapy across the lifespan, incorporate multiple practice areas, and stimulate critical thinking. Team-Based Learning is an instructional strategy that uses a set of structured activities to create active, energetic, collaborative learning environments. Information designed to support individuals’ ability to participate in the activities and clinical decision-making will be provided prior to APPTAC to those registered for the session. This session will take place in multiple rooms.
Learning Objectives:
- Apply their team’s “collective knowledge and expertise,” evidence of best practices, and interpretation of policy and legislative mandates to make clinical decisions for a child and family across the lifespan.
- Analyze influencing factors (ICF Model) and develop strategies for implementing best practices in pediatric physical therapy across multiple practice settings (Early Intervention, School-Based, Hospital Based-Acute Care, Out Patient, etc.).
- Collaborate with team members to evaluate intervention plans and strategies to optimize performance, health, wellness and/or quality of life.
