CEU Course Description 

As an essential performance skill, motor coordination is a trending topic in occupational therapy. Individuals of any age may experience motor incoordination, either as a developmental delay or a health condition. When this presents as a deficit, motor coordination must be addressed in the occupational therapy plan of care. Motor incoordination stands to impact anyone’s occupational engagement and can impact an individual’s quality of life. In order to effectively address motor deficits of all varieties, occupational therapists should be aware of the smaller skills that fall under this heading and how to incorporate them into treatment.

CEU Course Objectives

1. Define what motor coordination is.
2. Identify the functional impact of the two main motor coordination deficits and how occupational therapy can help.
3. Recognize the differences between the types of occupational therapy approaches that can address motor coordination deficits.
