Other aspects covered include - aetiology, neuropathology, neurophysiology, surgery, splinting and positioning. The course also covers the specific Occupational therapy and Speech therapy aspects of the problems encountered by children with cerebral palsy.
This course includes treatment and practical handling sessions in which participants are expected to participate. During the course participants will be assessed on their written work, practical work and verbal presentations.
