What a challenge that would present! I would experiment with different options on each technique, and see where it takes you. Have you thought about doing the techniques without the prosthetic, as well?


That is always the hard part training them in the same techniques but with and without the prosthetic.

The people i have worked with have managed to learn without the prosthetic then in their own time had figured out how to do it with the prosthetic.

This was all before their next class
That's real dedication there. Very cool.

As mentioned above, teach the gross motor (big movements) of blocking & striking on the affected side as well as the non-affected side. Balance is important for all students.

Some of you know, I have Cerebral Palsy that affects only the right side of my body. I have limited use of my right hand & arm. Working both sides of my body the same way has been the way I've strengthened my left side, while also bolstering my deficits on my right.

In terms of the way you treat this student...set expectations as high as you do for other students. Anything less is unhelpful to the student.
