At the completion of this course it is expected the participant will be able to:

1. Describe the phases of neonatal neurological development and the features of each developmental phase.
2. Describe the phases of neonatal respiratory development and the features of each developmental phase.
3. Apply knowledge of typical neonatal and infant development to the clinical physiotherapy management of neonates and infants.
4. Recognise typically developing movement and postural behaviour of neonates and infants.
5. Define the principles of developmental care and apply these to clinical practice with the neonatal population.
6. Identify standardised outcome measures appropriate for assessment of the neonatal and infant population.
7. Identify multiple physiotherapy strategies to address deviations from typical development in the neonatal and infant populations.
8. Describe a comprehensive musculo-skeletal physiotherapy assessment of the newborn and the infant.
9. Describe the management of common musculo-skeletal disorders of infancy.
