Reporting collateral effects of pediatric constraint induced movement therapy: Parent observed speech and language changes

In recent years the body of evidence for intensive bouts of therapeutic intervention in single disciplines has significantly grown. Implementation of these protocols has gained popularity clinically. Understanding collateral aspects of these intensive occupational and physical therapy sessions is of interest to families and clinicians of various disciplines. This project establishes a uniform documentation method for family comments recorded during home programs using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-Children and Youth (World Health Organization, 2007) and seeks to identify trends in these anecdotal responses by age group.
