ACQUIREc Therapy (Pediatric Constraint Induced Therapy)
Pediatric CI Therapy is now called ACQUIREc Therapy. Five years of research and clinical application have led us to new findings and directions. The name ACQUIREc Therapy more accurately embodies all of the aspects of this treatment approach, its goals, and the science behind it. The word ACQUIRE exemplifies the overall goal of this treatment, to acquire new skills and function for children participating in this therapy while the subscript 'c' indicates the important component of casting. The acronym ACQUIREc is as follows and provides great meaning for the "whole" concept of treatment which is the:
Continuous practice and shaping to produce; Quality movement of the; Upper extremity through Intensive therapy and Reinforcement in Everyday patterns and places). We hope this acronym gives you and our therapeutic approach a useful label to reflect the science, therapeutic nature, and goals of our work, as well as, our hopes for your child, to ACQUIRE new skills.
