At the end of the curricular unit, the student must demonstrate:
Capacidade para caracterizar a população pediátrica e as suas implicações na abordagem da fisioterapia.
Conhecimento e compreensão do neuro–desenvolvimento motor normal da criança.
Conhecimento e compreensão das condições clínicas e problemas mais frequentes nesta população e qual o papel do fisioterapeuta, nos diferentes contextos e nos diferentes estádios de desenvolvimento da criança. Pretende-se que o estudante distinga os diferentes tipos de paralisia cerebral e seja capaz de avaliar e definir os principais objectivos da intervenção.
Capacidade para desenvolver e para estabelecer uma relação profissional com a criança e seus familiares, bem como com uma equipa multidisciplinar.
