• Infants with suspected or confirmed cerebral palsy

• Infants with unilateral upper limb involvement

• Children where understanding functional hand use will guide intervention

• Families seeking clearer direction for therapy

The Mini‑AHA is completed through a structured, play‑based session using age‑appropriate toys.

During the assessment:

• Your child will participate in play activities designed to encourage natural hand use

• The session is video recorded for scoring (required for standardisation)

• The assessment is completed in a relaxed, child‑friendly environment

Following the session:

• The assessment is scored and interpreted

• A summary of findings is provided

• Recommendations are discussed in relation to therapy planning

• Clear understanding of how your child uses both hands together

• Insight into strengths and areas for development

• Objective measurement to support therapy planning

• Baseline data to track progress over time

• Guidance for goal‑directed, evidence‑based intervention

Assessments are conducted in Port Macquarie (NSW) in a clinic-based setting.

This allows for a consistent, structured environment that supports accurate assessment and reliable results.

Assessment is conducted within a goal‑directed, family‑centred framework.

Findings are used to support clear, practical decision‑making — helping families and clinicians focus on the right intervention at the right time.
