Comprehensive Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation: A Multidisciplinary
Approach
Venue: Ground Floor Nursing College
Cerebral palsy is a lifelong neuro developmental condition that can significantly affect movement, posture, communication, participation and independence. Contemporary rehabilitation focuses on early identification, goal-oriented intervention, family-centred care and participation across the lifespan.
This clinically oriented and interactive pre-conference workshop will provide participants with a practical approach to comprehensive assessment and multidisciplinary rehabilitation of individuals with cerebral palsy, with emphasis on translating evidence into meaningful functional
outcomes.
