Workshop

Structure and Function: How the Infant's Structure Affects the Infant's Function


Workshop Outline

This program discusses why structural issues happen, what challenges they cause or contribute to, and the long-term effects if left untreated, and techniques to use to assess infant structure.

  • We look at pregnancy, labor and delivery, infant feeding and behavioral challenges, difficulty meeting developmental milestones, and behavioral issues in older children due to untreated structural issues as infants.
  • We look, in detail, at the infant body, learning how to recognize structural asymmetries and musculature tightness by sight and feel.
  • We finish the program learning how to evaluate the infant structure, using hands-on assessment skills to recognize problem areas that may be contributing to infant function.

10 videos, and several case studies are included.

*Participants must bring their own dolls for the hands-on portion*
