TeleCIMT Participant & Supporter Program Resources
Welcome to the TeleCIMT participant and supporter resources! Please find a copy of your ‘TeleCIMT preparation pack’ below on this page. The pack includes everything you and your supporter need to learn about your TeleCIMT program to help you prepare for it successfully. Your therapist will ensure you are provided with a copy of the pack before your TeleCIMT assessment.

- TeleCIMT Preparation pack
Work through the TeleCIMT preparation pack in your own time, at your own pace, where possible with your supporter. You will be directed to links of short videos about the various elements of TeleCIMT. Take the time to watch the videos (with the sound turned up). Complete the work sheets provided in the preparation pack before your TeleCIMT assessment. Going through the pack will take around one hour in total. - TeleCIMT Program pack
This is a blank copy of the ‘Program pack'. Shortly before your program starts, your therapist will provide you with your ‘TeleCIMT program pack’ that is tailored to you. It will contain all the paperwork required for your TeleCIMT program, such as sheets to record your daily progress. - Optional: Excel spreadsheet for recording shaping repetitions
Videos
These videos can help you see how your TeleCIMT program might run.
Participant videos were produced by the TIDE Group with the support of occupational therapy students from the Australian Catholic University in Sydney. Note that these videos of a mock TeleCIMT program show participants with no arm weakness; the purpose of these videos is to show the types of activities TeleCIMT participants complete on a program.
