Focus on That Right Arm & Right Leg

This week Aidan is having CONSTRAINT THERAPY--forcing his right arm and leg to get with it and join the rest of his body.


Oh, and another bit of Good News! Aidan has been approved to walk with his platform cane WITHOUT anyone holding onto his web safety belt. Aha! More independence!


Aidan's left arm is in a cast even though there is nothing wrong with it. It's the same principle as wearing a patch over the good eye in order to force the weak eye to work harder. He wears this cast for a certain parts of the day, just to get used to forcing his right arm and hand to work harder.
With his strong left hand holding the bionicle Lego construction his weak right hand is working hard to put the pieces together. 

Alright, let's go for a ride! Right foot, Push! Don't just stand there!
