This video instructs families with a baby with physical challenges how to work with their baby. My name is Amy Sturkey, PT. I am a pediatric physical therapist in the US. I started this project hoping to give some ideas to families who want to help their baby with Microcephaly due to the Zika virus, but these videos would help a wide variety of families who have a baby with a developmental challenge. This video teaches a simple technique in how to work on walking backwards. A baby has to learn to step backwards to catch his balance if he starts to fall back. This is idea is only appropriate for a child who is showing emerging walking skills or true walking skills. It is not appropriate to try this technique with a child who is much weaker or has significant other concerns. I hope you find this idea useful and simple to follow through. My webpage is www.pediatricPTexercises.com My Facebook page is Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises. I have apps on iTunes and Google play for Pediatric Physical Therapy Strengthening. However, these apps target children 3 and older. I have released "A is for Autism: A Child's View" on www.Amazon.com. Feel free to contact me at amysturkey@gmail.com with questions, concerns or rave reviews!
