APPT Clinical Reasoning Theatre

The purpose of this clinical reasoning theater is to:

Provide students and PT programs with access to content modules called clinical reasoning theaters to facilitate the learner’s clinical reasoning process when working with children and their families. This would include video footage of children with special needs and their families, clinicians, and academic faculty dialoguing in movement analysis and determining appropriate tests and measures, interventions, and family education. Video guides for clinicians and faculty would be provided as well as assignments and assessment guides for student learning.

  • CMT (birth – 2 years, out-patient setting)
  • ITW (1- 6 years, out-patient setting)
  • Brain injury (in-patient setting)
  • SCI/Myelomeningocele (in-patient or out-patient setting)
  • DCD (5- 18 years, school-based setting)
