Can't say that I have any information or experience - but with a
young kid I would be very carefull not to disturb the development
of handedness. Not doubt this kid will be righthanded! So what he
needs to do with his left will be more like e.g. positioning and
holding items to work on with his right hand. How about some toys
that needs two hands for operating? Oh oh - what's-it-called?
Before all the battery-operated stuff we used to have toys that
needed a key turned (or a string pulled) to run/drive/play music.
Has he developed other ways of holding items - like in his mouth
or between his knees? You might want to constrain that sometimes
then.
Just my thoughts (2 cents?)

Emne: CI with peds patient
Does anyone have information regarding the use of this treatment
with the pediatric population? I have a 2 y/o (shaken baby)
with left hemiplegia. I am considering all treatment options
because his accident was last July and he has had minimal return
in this UE. However, he has gotten some movement back in the LE.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Ginger
