SUMMARY:Constraint Induced Movement Therapy for Preschool Children - November 2026
DESCRIPTION:This two-day course introduces therapists to the One-Handed Therapy Intervention (OTI) Programme – a unique toolkit for families who have a child aged 2-4 years with hemiplegia.  \nConstraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is a highly evidence based\, complex intervention to improve hand function of children with hemiplegia. \nThere is no current comprehensive resource to give parents/carers step-by-step instructions on how to use activities to target their child’s goals through CIMT. \nThe OTI toolkit addresses this by providing therapists with: \n\nlibrary of graded\, play-based activity cards\,\nuser manuals\,\ntherapy diary\,\nattractive restraint\,\nmotivational resources\,\nfollow-up bimanual programme\,\ndigital record keeping tool.\n\nThe OTI toolkit ensures that therapists have all the pre-prepared components needed to quickly and easily compile an effective evidence based CIMT programme\, that can then be delivered by families and staff in early years settings. \nThe resources that are given to families are designed to support them to successfully implement the programme. \n\nExcellent. Given me lots of research based evidence and strategies to support a case for a new well needed service within the trust. I would like to commend you both on your project and course.\n(Delegate feedback from our December 2025 course) \n\n\nOTI Programme Toolkit – all course content and materials copyright © The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust 2024. All rights reserved. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOTI Toolkit\nThe course provides thorough training and support in how to use the OTI toolkit. The course fee also includes all the materials in the OTI toolkit (see photo above). \nAt the end of the course\, you will be provided with all the components needed to enable you to deliver the programme with one child in order to complete the post course accreditation process. \nUpon successful completion of this accreditation\, you will be provided with the additional kit components to enable you to deliver the programme to a further four children. \nDelegates who have been accredited may order additional materials as required. \n(Please note that you may incur additional charges if delivery is required outside of the UK). \nThis programme uses a range of carefully selected toys which are loaned to families. These toys are not provided and therefore you are required to obtain these in order to deliver the programme. \nYou will be supplied with information of what toys are needed and suggestions of where in the UK you may purchase them. Every effort has been made to ensure these costs are reasonable and that the majority of the toys are reusable. \n\nThe OTI package is a wonderful resource for experienced and new therapists supporting families with a therapist supported CIMT – bimanual home or nursery programme…… Well done for such an amazing resource!\n\n(Delegate feedback from our November 2024 course) \nDelivery\nThe course is provided across two days – followed by a subsequent virtual 1:1 accreditation session approximately 3 – 4 months afterwards. \nKey outcomes by the end of this course include the ability to: \n\nUnderstand the purpose and utility of all the resources in the tool kit\nIdentify children who may benefit from CIMT following assessment\nCreate a bespoke CIMT programme using the OTI toolkit which delivers the key therapy ingredients\, and similarly create a follow up bimanual programme\nSupport families and staff in early years settings to deliver the programmes\nEvaluate progress and plan next steps.\n\nAudience\nThe CIMT course is delivered by Janice Pearse and Vicki Wisher\, Advanced Paediatric Occupational Therapists\, both of whom have extensive experience working with children with hemiplegia. \nThe course is open to qualified paediatric Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists. \nPrior experience of working with children with hemiplegia is recommended to aid understanding of how to use the programme. \nDates\nThe course is delivered over two days: \nDay 1: Monday 2nd November 2026 \nDay 2: Tuesday 3rd November 2026 \nPayment\nPayments should where possible be made via the online booking system. \nIf you request an invoice at the point of booking\, invoice payment terms are strictly 30 days from the invoice date or 7 days before the first date of the course whichever date is the earliest. \nBooking\nTo book a place on this course go to Tickets at the bottom of the page.  Please note that this course has a pre-course assignment therefore tickets are available up to 4th October 2026\, please contact us at nuth.newcastlehospitalsskillsacademy@nhs.net to discuss late bookings. \nAt checkout you can make an online card payment or enter a coupon code to make alternative payment arrangements. \nAlternative payment arrangements include: \n\nrequesting an invoice (INVOICE)\,\nThe Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust staff internal funding (NUTH) – you will need to complete a Trust study leave form.\n\nPlease see the Making payments & Coupons sections of the Help and FAQs. \nCancellation and refunds policy\nShould you no longer be able to attend the event on the booked date\, please contact the Academy as we may be able to offer an alternative date subject to an admin charge. \nShould you still wish to cancel your booking\, you or your employer will be charged as per the fees outlined below.  Please contact nuth.newcastlehospitalsskillsacademy@nhs.net to cancel your place.  The timescale is calculated from the 4th October as pre-course materials are to be shared 4 weeks before the start of the course. \n\n\n\nTimescale\nFee paying course\n\n\nOver 6 weeks\n£25 admin charge\n\n\n2 to 6 weeks\n50% of course fee\n\n\n0 to 2 weeks\n100% of course fee\n\n\n\nIf you do not attend on the day\, you will be charged the full cost of the event place. \nSee our Terms & Conditions and Cancellations & Refunds pages for more details.
