Description: This presentation reviews current theories for motor control, motor development, and neuroplasticity.  Concerns and red flags for atypical development will be discussed.  Both behavioral signals/concepts that impact neuroplasticity will be highlighted with applications to clinical practice explored. A case presentation will be used to help to understand theories and how one can put into practice.

Objectives: Participants will be able to:

1. Review Motor Theories - Dynamic Systems Theories and NGST
2. Identify themes for motor development and motor learning to apply to clinical practice
3. Define neural plasticity and identify 6 behavior signals that enhance neural plasticity
4. Give examples of how they might apply information to their clinical practice
