Constraint Therapy

We continue to do constraint therapy with Noah - where we limit his left hand and essentially force him to use his right hand.  Given that he is still only 3.5 years old (he definitely sometimes seems older!), he certainly does not fully understand what is going on, nor the fact that he needs to "practice" with his right hand.  We have seen improvement over the 3+ years we have been doing this now - not leaps and bounds, but marginal progress.  And so, we keep pushing forward.  He's amazing resilient with regard to this - I can't imagine many 3-year olds would be thrilled by having one hand/arm casted while trying to play.  But perhaps since we have been doing it since he was 6-months old, he is quite used to it and even seems to largely enjoy it - at least for a while before it gets hard and old.  So, without further ado, please take a look at a few videos from this morning's session....as you'll note, we try to keep it quite fun (and I tend to get a little carried away from time to time!).
