This webinar is suitable for families, physicians and therapists caring for infants and young children who are experiencing motor delays and movement concerns. There will be an opportunity for Q&A with the presenters. This event is free of charge.
For infants with motor development concerns, early assessments can help families identify and understand how to best support their child's ongoing development. In this webinar, the Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center (WFCPC)’s Infant Movement Evaluation Team will share and discuss who can benefit and what to expect from an movement evaluation. The following will be covered:
- Importance of early detection and intervention
- How to identify infants who can benefit from a movement evaluation
- What to expect at the evaluation
- Follow-up and support services
- How to make referrals
The Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center’s Infant Movement Evaluation Clinic assesses infants and young children with movement concerns and provides guidance on next steps. The clinic is led by Pediatric Neurologist, Jason B. Carmel, MD, PhD and Pediatric Physical Therapist, Lisa Yoon, PT, DPT, PCS, who are experts in the development of young children.
The Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center is a part of Columbia University Irving Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Through comprehensive medical care, research, and education programs, we aim to expand knowledge of cerebral palsy and access to care across from infancy to adulthood.
