title: American Academy of Pediatrics. Committee on Children with Disabilities. The treatment of neurologically impaired children using patterning.
abstract: This statement reviews patterning as a treatment for children with neurologic impairments. This treatment is based on an outmoded and oversimplified theory of brain development. Current information does not support the claims of proponents that this treatment is efficacious, and its use continues to be unwarranted.
