dear Justyna,
I found the video´s very loving.....
In reality a child is mostly awake and kicking when you lift them or change their positions.... a very sleepy child does make it easier for the presentor the chance to show "the technique" .
We have a Paediatric Society the NVFK as part of our national Association the KNGF.
Our website is NVFK; Nederlandse Vereniging voor Fysiotherapie in de Kinder- en jeugdgezondheidszorg but I´m afraid that everything is in Dutch. We have a postgraduate Master in Paediatric Physiotherapy (4 yrs part-time). We are trained in all aspects of the disorders that children face and we are taught many treatment possibilities. Treating children in a functional way, without using a specific method, but looking at the childs specifics needs and wished has become the new way of treating.
Before this postgraduate education was initiated in Holland, physiotherapists could only be trained in either Vojta,Bobath, sensorymotor or psychomotor therapy.
In recent years science has made clear that there we have been using methods that do not work as well as we thought.
Research is being done all over the world. One of the websites you can find a lot of information AND tests ( many for free) and I recommend is CanChild Centre for Childhood Disability Research
About skillsforaction.com | skillsforaction.com is a website initiated by a colleague who is specifically interested in DCD children. I recommend this site as well.
You can go to Welcome! and read all the journals older then 1 year for free. I think you will learn a lot from reading the journals.
There is so much going on worldwide.
Go to American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM) for the newest research on treatment possibilities.
In the time you have to wait to be able to do a course... I recommend reading and maybe going to courses elsewhere.
I loved learning PNF (in Bad Ragaz Switzerland and learnt a lot.... and I still use the things I learnt there when treating children)
The books I can really recommend to start with.....
