Slide 2

• Look at the difference between task 1 & 14• Most will be higher on 14• Higher scores indicate that you should start

with fewer reps

Evaluating your LFA

When to adjust the training

• Be able to keep your score under 100 ms before increasing reps Example: If you have a

250 ms on both hands, set their program for 50 to 100 reps and keep it there until their scores are below 100 ms.

Tip: Demo hand over hand to parent or caregiver to help them

• Gradually increase the reps as you are able to maintain scores consistently under 100 ms 

• As the scores drop lower add longer reps to EACH TASK

• When able to do tasks with longer reps (starting with the 500 reps tasks) make sure they can maintain their scores in the average to above average range

When to adjust the training

• An off session or two can be expected at some point in the training• Don’t change plan just

yet• Some clients have a

few poor scores right before they make a big gain in their timing 

• If lack of progress persists, it is time to reassess

When to adjust the training

When to adjust the training

• If your client didn’t do very well on the LFA but soars on session 1- move them ahead & CHALLENGE THEM
