I worked closely with a professor at East Carolina University in the Occupational Therapy Department to assist with a research study concerning the use of CIMT (Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy) with children with cerebral palsy. Dr. Anderson received the AOTF Intervention Research Grant to create a CIMT camp for children with CP; I worked with Dr. Anderson to plan and modify the camp for the second session. In this position I collaborated with staff who planned and participated in the first session to determine modifications to make for the second session, contacted clinics and potential participants, created daily schedules, and organized materials in preparation for each activity planned.
