About the Role
HABIT-ILE (Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Training Including Lower Extremity) is a two-week goal-directed training program for children and teens with cerebral palsy and similar conditions. It focuses on everyday functional skills like eating, dressing, and moving, with an emphasis on bimanual therapy. Developed in Belgium in 2011, HABIT-ILE leverages neuroplasticity science and is clinically proven to provide lasting functional improvement. The program uses a motor-learning-based approach for care, leisure, and productivity goals through structured daily practice, progressively grading activities toward more complex bimanual coordination and increasing demands on legs and balance systems.
