The Presentation from Jean-Pierre Maes M.A.E.S. Therapy, was in the Top 3 Most Voted (crowd favourites) & Top 3 Most Listened To presentations during the 4 day summit, which was attended by over 2,500 clinical experts, academic researchers and thought leaders for research. Bridging the gap between academic & real-world practice in complex disabilities!
The Talk Title was:
“Rethinking our Acceptance of Gross Motor Plateaus in Cerebral Palsy: Could Thinking and Thus Treating from a Different Perspective Change the Course of Progression?”
Talk Description:
By rethinking Cerebral Palsy from a new perspective, the MAES Therapy Approach and MAES Clinical Reasoning Framework were developed and aim to enhance neurodevelopmental therapy by focusing on the following key components:
-
- Clinical Reasoning: Understanding the specific skills that the brain needs to develop in each patient as well as understanding mechanisms that lead to plateau.
- Structured Observation: Systematically observing how a child performs tasks of varying complexity to identify areas needing development.
- Motivation: Encouraging the patient to enter and remain in a “learning zone,” where they are engaged and able to make progress in their therapy.
The components of this framework are highly interactive and interdependent. Each element supports and influences the others, creating a flexible yet cohesive structure that adapts to the needs of each patient.
The ultimate goal is to foster a structured, insightful, and patient-centred approach to therapy, effectively promoting the development of essential skills in individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions.
The presentation included clinical examples illustrating the M.A.E.S. Approach and M.A.E.S. Clinical Reasoning Framework.
The Clinical Excellence Summit has been phenomenal !!
This one-of-a-kind summit took a deep dive into cutting-edge science and innovative treatments for children with neuromotor disabilities through a clinician-first lens.
For therapists and healthcare professionals committed to making a real difference in their practice, this was a can’t-miss event.
Grateful Thanks to Mindy Silva and the Clinical Excellence Summit Team
