Teaching Experience in the Bobath Approach
Due to the extensiveness of this experience, I have summarized the first fifteen years, from 1979-1994. During these years I taught an average of five to eight Basic courses in Adult Hemiplegia each year. In these years I also taught four to six one week introductory courses in both Pediatrics and Adult Hemiplegia each year. In 1983, I began teaching advanced courses in Adult Hemiplegia. The number of advanced courses each year ranged in number from three to five. The majority of these courses were conducted at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois and Texas Woman's University in the graduate program on the Dallas campus.

In 1984 I began training Instructors in Adult Hemiplegia according to the guidelines set down by the NDTA and Karel and Berta Bobath. Between 1984 and 1994 as a Coordinator Instructor in Adult Hemiplegia I was involved in the training of the following instructors: Beth Fisher, Susan Woll, Nicky Schmidt, Diane Conti, Bonnie Jenkins, Teddy Parkinson, Karen Brunton, Sandy Kurisaki, Patricia Bonner, Waleed Al Obudi, Daiva Banaitis, and Cindy Thomas.
