Review the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS)

Review the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS)
In today's video we go over the Manual Ability Classification System which is a classification system that is commonly used with children with cerebral palsy (CP). It is a helpful system that helps to classify how well kids can manipulate and use items in their environment with their hands...thus the name Manual Ability Classification System. PLUS at then end of the video you will find some tips and tricks that I like to use to help me recall each level of manual ability as described by the MACS.

Another great video. I'm almost done with my first lvl II FW. Whenever you post a video, it's oddly nostalgic. Hope you and your family are well.
