The DMI Introductory Level A B and C Online Courses have been designed to teach the pediatric therapist the basic exercises and handling skills required to implement a treatment program using DMI Therapy. The courses are suitable for Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists working in the field of Pediatrics. They are divided into Teaching” hours and "Practical Application” hours during which the student is able to apply and demonstrate their learning with supervised correction by the instructor. 

Teaching and Practical times are adjusted according to the number of registrants. A course certificate will be sent to you at the end of the course. Additional information about each course can be found here: https://dmitherapy.com/courses/

Demo children for practical portion: 
Virtual courses:

For group courses, we need 3 children split among participating practitioners. This means, that for larger courses, not every practitioner must provide a demo child. We ask that demo children be working on head and trunk control (2 or younger and not sitting)  or standing and stepping (sitting independently). It is very helpful if they are comfortable working with you as well. 

Equipment needed for virtual Introductory Level Courses: 
• A soft doll or stuffed toy with moveable arms and legs (at least the size of a baby) will be required for all teaching sessions.
• A roll of anti-slip/grip liner
• Print out of the manual (bound, if possible)
• DMI Boxes – not required for Introductory Level A, but recommended for Introductory B & C
• If you do not have boxes, please have a step stool available
• Demo child (see information above for details) 

Equipment needed for in-person Introductory Level Courses: 

• A soft doll or stuffed toy with moveable arms and legs (at least the size of a baby) will be required for all teaching sessions.
