Dawn works with a wide spectrum of ages starting with 2 weeks and even going into the mid to late 20s. At the clinic, she consults with multiple disciplines when working with children with autism and early signs of autism, to pinpoint what she sees as a PT and what other specialists may see to best help the children and their families. Using checklists when working with a child or when talking to the parents can help figure out what is “going on”. Dawn works closely with the family, to talk about signs and get them to the correct doctors. When seeing parents, they could be in denial or eager for a professional to see the signs they are seeing, so being open and communicative through every step is crucial. All of this is helpful whether the child has autism or not. There are signs and milestones we can look for in the first year of life and beyond that may be a cause for concern. We talk about torticollis, toe-walking, and W-sitting as well as basic motor milestones for babies. There are many things PTs and parents can do to build basic motor skills with intention, such as modified tummy time and limiting the time spent in “containers”. In today’s video you’ll learn: -What do toe-walking and W-sitting mean? -What is torticollis? -When young babies and children should be meeting milestones. -When you should be concerned or get a PT evaluation. -What a PT can do for young and older children.
