What if you could help children with cerebral palsy make significant motor gains with half the therapy hours while keeping both parents and kids engaged? Pediatric occupational therapists Dr. Michele Alaniz and Dr. Lacy Wright dive into the OT research comparing constraint-induced movement therapy and bimanual intensive training, revealing which approach might have the long-term edge for your pediatric therapy practice. Along the way, you'll hear Michele's inspiring OT story about a former client who now rides mountain bikes after successfully using constraint-induced movement therapy, discover practical pediatric occupational therapy strategies to overcome initial child resistance and laugh at Lacy's epic "Failed It" implementing the Zones of Regulation. This episode delivers evidence-based strategies to transform your interventions and elevate your pediatric therapy outcomes when working with kids with CP.
We share our own thoughts in the Research Review and encourage you to read the article too.
