Physical therapy for toddler
You'll learn the typical movement milestones toddlers reach—from crawling and walking to climbing and jumping—so you understand what healthy motor development looks like.
You'll discover the main reasons toddlers see a physical therapist and what therapists work toward, such as improving balance, strength, coordination, and independence in daily activities.
You'll understand the practical methods therapists use to evaluate a toddler's motor skills, including observation, standardized tests, and functional movement tasks.
You'll grasp how toddlers' brains rewire through movement and repetition, why early intervention works, and how constraint-induced therapy leverages this neuroplasticity to build stronger motor patterns.
