When it was released in 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s "Learn the Signs. Act Early developmental milestone checklists omitted crawling as a developmental milestone and has since been debated among pediatric PTs in the United States." Creeping on all fours has long been a goal used by physical and occupational therapists to increase a child's locomotion and progress their gross motor skills in route to standing and walking. This course will address the shift in screening recommendations and provide a rationale for clinical decision-making. In addition, information will be provided on the impacts of notcrawling, components needed for crawling, and hands-on ideas for teaching this skill.
Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants

a transcript of the podcast would be helpful as she speaks very quickly and i had to pause and rewind several times to capture key information. more visual guides would also be helpful as she went through the topic quickly.

constant technical jargon made a podcast with no real outline difficult to listen to and process the information fast enough to keep pace with the fast talking pace. the outline was blurry and only had 2 slides of any relevance.
