Motor Learning Principle Description
Structure The therapeutic program had a clear structure with a top-down system: five domains, prerequisites, and exercises.
Repetition Six individual sessions for each domain were incorporated into the program. Individual logbooks ensured the repetition of the exercises.
Progression The exercises were progressively graded toward increasing the participants’ capacities. Individual logbooks ensured shaping.
Motivation Motivation was an important factor during the assessments and therapy. Fun was a key feature and was achieved through rewards, group sessions, attractive leisure moments, and the overarching circus theme.
Individual adjustments Individual goals were based on baseline assessments. Each participant had their own logbook to ensure the continuity of the therapy.
Therapists guide the execution The child was considered an active actor seeking problem-solving strategies guided by the therapist.
Focus on function Functional activities took precedence during at least 70% of the therapeutic sessions.
