1. • Discussion of details, advanced topics lectures by Pavel Kolar (e.g. partial patterns: What are they and why do we use them? Common reflex locomotion variations)
   

2. • Baby's assessment - demos. Postural reactions & primitive reflexes dynamics during 1st year of life.
   

3. • Assessment and treatment of the cortical function; Dyspraxia: ideational (gnostic, sensory, perceptional), motor (executive, expressive) and ideomotor types; Symptomatology: impaired selective movements, postural adaptation failure, insufficient muscular relaxation, impaired equilibrium, inadequate strength adaptation, impairment of motor fluency, speed and rhythm and compromised movement estimation
   

4. • DNS principles for mobilization and manipulation techniques, soft tissue technique (C-spine, T-spine, L-spine mobilization)
   

•  Review of reflex locomotion positions: modifications, vector's and zone's combinations. Reflex locomotion and higher developmental positions combination, kinesiology of planned movements etc. 

•  Advanced and modified active exercise techniques based on the developmental positions

•  Advanced case assessment & treatment demonstration, with follow-up discussion with Pavel Kolar regarding findings and rationale for techniques he used.

•  DNS based assessment and treatment for females with gynecologic problems (functional sterility, week pelvic floor, stress incontinence)

•  Discussion of research topics
