Cabinet Peaks Medical Center recently announced that Carrie Wardian, Pediatric Physical Therapist, has successfully completed the Prechtl Assessment of General Movement Basic Training course and passed the certification testing, officially becoming a "Certified Reliable Assessor." 

This specialized training, held in Spokane, equips Wardian with advanced skills to assess spontaneous movements in pre-term and young infants, which can predict neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy with a 95% accuracy rate.

The Prechtl Assessment is highly regarded worldwide for its sensitivity and specificity. It is a non-invasive, cost-effective test that can be completed either via video or in person, making it particularly valuable in rural settings like Libby and Troy, where healthcare resources and specialists may be limited.
