Hand Arm Bimanual Intensive therapy including lower extremity (HABIT-ILE)

HABIT-ILE is continuous intervention applied for 50-90 hours over two weeks. We will design the activities based on the findings of the initial assessments (T0) and the customized functional goals that were previously discussed with the parents (e.g., drinking on one\'s own without spilling, using one hand to hold a book while turning pages with the other, removing a t-shirt, etc.). HABIT-ILE activities are presented as games and the whole environment is arranged in such a way that children perceive the therapy as fun. Progression of difficulty depend upon success in performance of current level. Specific bi-manual activities are selected on basis of child's motor abilities, age and interest.
