The General Movements Assessment is a non-invasive and cost-effective way to identify neurological issues which may lead to cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities. The assessment can be completed from birth to 20 weeks of age (corrected for prematurity). 

It is considered one of the gold standard assessment tools for the early detection of cerebral palsy (CP), alongside MRI and the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE). 

The Basic and Advanced Courses in Prechtl’s General Movements Assessment will be held in Hong Kong in October 2026. These courses are essential for healthcare professionals working in early intervention, neonatology, neurology, or developmental therapy.

Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) can affect many aspects of a child’s learning and school participation, including cognitive processing, reading and literacy, handwriting and written output, attention, working memory and task completion. Understanding these difficulties often requires looking beyond a single professional perspective.

This 3-part introductory professional webinar series brings together perspectives from Educational Psychology, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy, providing professionals with a broader understanding of SpLD and its impact on learning and school performance. Each webinar can be attended individually or as part of the complete series.
