How Can We Identify Infants At Risk for ASD or SPD? Quality of Movement Indicators

Joanne Flanagan, ScD, OTR/L will focus on the implications of early motor dysfunction in children with neurodevelopmental disabilities, such as ASD and SPD. The importance of early motor development will be discussed, followed by information on how to identify motor delays based on current research in high risk infants later diagnosed with ASD. Finally, practical clinical information on identification and treatment of early motor delays in young children with SPD will be illustrated through a case study.
