There will be group feedback and discussion of scoring and grading of each child, discussion on interpretation of results and planning for intervention as needed.

At conclusion, participants should have an understanding of the background of the NSMDA and be familiar with testing procedures for infants and children up to 4 or 6 yrs of age. They will also understand the scoring and grading systems of the NSMDA, be able to interpret the results and use the information in clinical settings to advise, refer and plan interventions. Participants will understand classification of motor developmental performance of children and the use of the test in research.
