Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, Division of Physical and Occupational Therapy

This workbook was developed for occupational and physical therapists who are beginning practice in the neonatal and high risk infant care units and acute out patient area. The Checklist is intended to be a set of guidelines and an objective tool used to measure, train and monitor the clinicians' advanced competency skills. It assesses areas of competency in evaluation, treatment intervention, including neurobehavioral development, feeding skills, family training and interdisciplinary teamwork and discharge planning.

The Checklist is divided into three major sections:

• Chart Review
• Assessment
• Therapeutic Intervention and Feeding

Also included are a pre-test, open and closed book examination, test questions and answer key and reading, and reference list.
