Treating a 1 year old who presents with processing challenges

Description

This DVD was taken at a course when a mother brought her 1 year old in for a consultation with the instructor. The child was diagnosed with hypotonia and mother, being a P.T., was working on home carryover to help her child gain strength in addition to taking her to therapy. This is a classic example of a child that has a neurological challenge in integrating how the pieces of motor control fit together. Despite this, the numerous tests that have been conducted on brain and muscles have shown no positive results that indicate injury or insult. For her parents, this lack of true diagnosis was very confusing and the results from theerapy were not adequately overcoming the simplistic idea that the child only had low tone.
