I have long been impressed with the command Billi Cusick has for development. This was a wonderful opportunity to take at my own pace. I found myself listening more than once to the presentations as there was so much material with welcomed detail to absorb. I was very grateful for the extended time. It leaves me with more clarity and more challenges for clinical analyses and treatment. I would rate the course as exceptional and one every pediatric PT should have the opportunity to take.

Thank you very much for providing this really informative course of study. I am really pleased that I have invested time in this opportunity to enhance my therapy skills and enquiry. Due to some covid health issues and more recently several family bereavements, my learning on this course has been quite fractured. I have appreciated that you were therefore able to offer additional time to me for completing this course as I was able to do so - thank you again. I have certainly found that it has taken far more than the 14.5 hours indicated as frequently you needed to rewatch or return to information in order to try and understand it. I still do not feel confident with the mathematical aspect of ante version angles so am trying to ensure the understanding of torsion and version is understood initially. Ill have to keep reading over this! I also found the examples regarding the use of the theratogs challenging only as this is equipment I have not had experience of using in my gatekeeper clinic. However, the theory implied remains applicable for extending my skills and and the observational and enquiring lens I can use to assess MSK and orthopaedic development as well as neurodevelopment progress of the babies and infants I see in my clinic and in the NICU. Now that I have formally completed the course, I am now looking forward to taking the time to read over all my notes to further consolidate this knowledge. Thank you again for making this opportunity available in this format for those of us that do not live in the States. Kind regards Alison

I like the connections made between anatomical spatial relationships, mechanical properties and principles, relative muscle length and muscle force production, and functionality relative to upright postural control.

I have been practicing in pediatrics for 20 years, and taken Cusick courses in the past, but this one blew me away. So much content, very well researched and organized. I could only do this in 60 -90 minute chunks before my brain was overfilled so I’m glad it was self paced. And I appreciated weekly progress updates keeping me motivated because this was tough stuff. I wish there was a “Lite” version without so many numbers and calculations geared toward pediatric OT’s that can benefit from the Development and Postural Control knowledge without tuning out during AV,AT,TCA,HNA. I also suggest including the Femur Pen in the cost and shipping it out to the participant when they register so it will be in hand and ready to manipulate when needed.

This course was extremely informative and gave me inspiration to look into detailed skeletal assessments of my clients! Excellent course that I will recommend to all pediatric PTs.

I've never attended a course like this before. I would recommend to anyone who works with kids. From clinical experience to science to evidence - very informative course! And Billy is such a great teacher.
