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

lots of information, but presenter was very monotonous. course material did not go along with her presentation so it was hard to take notes along with it

this was my first summit podcast and i was hoping it would be a bit more engaging. it seemed clear that the presenter was reading from a script, but since that is the case i would hope it could at least be edited to correct mistakes\/times where she misspoke. it was informative but to the point where it felt it would have been better as a full powerpoint with visuals. the materials that were included just touched on the content, and i don't think matched what was said to be included by the instructor at the end of the podcast.

the instructor is as knowledgeable but this material would have been better in a video.

it felt like it was read from a script so it was difficult to connect to it overall. i felt she utilized a vocabulary that was difficult to follow on a podcast and would have been better in a slide format
