Abnormal motor development in special-needs children requires specific skills for caregivers. This program presents positioning and handling techniques for both the hypertonic profile child, one who is easily overstimulated and has stiffening of the limbs, and the hypotonic profile child, who has flaccid muscle tone and decreased movement. Positions are discussed for sleeping, handling, and playing to encourage the development of basic motor skills. (25 minutes)
