2019 Prechtl’s Method of the Qualitative Assessment of General Movements
Basic and Advanced Course
Early diagnosis of young infants with cerebral palsy is essential for their and their families’ continued wellbeing. Prechtl’s Method of the Qualitative Assessment of General Movements is reputedly the most effective predictor of cerebral palsy, and therefore a crucial tool for dedicated healthcare professionals wanting to minimise the impact of this neurological condition.
The University of Melbourne has partnered with the internationally acclaimed General Movements Trust to explore this methodology throughout the ‘Assessment of General Movements’ short course. Over 3.5 days, leading academics will introduce participants to Prechtl’s assessment method through face-to-face lectures, demonstrations and exercises.
The Program
Our engaging program is offered at two levels: the Basic and the Advanced course. Participants of the Advanced program should have completed Basic training as a prerequisite.
Both courses fulfil the standards specified by the General Movements Trust with participants receiving up to 22.75 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) with industry experts. An assessment is conducted on the final day, resulting in a General Movements certificate on successful completion.
Date: 23 October - 26 October
Location: Rydges on Swanston 701 Swanston Street, Carlton, Victoria, 3053
