    Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT):

    This is an intensive specialised therapy, targeting the use of your child’s weaker arm/hand. Your child will wear a soft mit over their stronger hand to encourage use of the weaker arm. Specific target areas will be given each week.

    Bimanual Therapy:

    This is a rehabilitation approach to improve the co-ordination and use of both hands together.

    Task Orientated Therapy:

    This approach will focus on goal specific tasks and how we can use and adapt the task to work with our hand/arm function.

    Please note mCIMT or Bimanual therapy is a minimum 12 block intervention (Package 3).
