  • Excellent way to keep in touch with the rest of the world

    Thank you so much Dayna and Ash for this podcast. For those of us working in regional and remote areas and with limited access to courses and conferences I really appreciate being able to listen to your podcast to feel that I am keeping up with what’s happening in the research world. Congratulations on your 100th episode which I enjoyed while driving back home after seeing clients on the West Coast of Tasmania yesterday. Looking forward to the next 100.

  • A brilliant research based podcast

    The 1 star reviewer seems to have a vested (possibly) financial interest in CME and DMI. Novak makes a clear differentiation between “hands on” and “hands off” therapies. Merely listening to researcher after researcher on episode after episode (including Novak herself and contemporaries like Longo and de Campos) make this distinction should give a clear indication that the older ways of doing things have now been surpassed.

    I would hope that those that support these outdated philosophies and te... more

    Although the Novak et al (2019) paper has been widely cited and discussed amongst health professionals, this episode does not present all information accurately. The description of treatment methods CME and DMI is incorrect and inaccurate, and not included in the original paper. This podcasts representation of these treatment methods in particular is completely incorrect and biased.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EACD / IAACD 2025 (Dr Sue Greaves)
Q: What is the main message therapists should take away from today about bimanual therapy?
There is still a lot of constraint-based therapy being used; the takeaway is to think by manual and focus on task-specific, two-handed strategies rather than turning the affected hand into the dominant hand.
EACD / IAACD 2025 (Dr Sue Greaves)
Q: What are you currently doing in your work and how does that influence your approach?
I'm back to clinical practice with babies and families, balancing teaching and developing assessments, to keep research grounded in real-world practice.
EACD / IAACD 2025 (Dr Sebastian Schroeder)
Q: What are you most excited about regarding the pre-conference workshops?
The guest highlights early detection and intervention sessions, the depth of science in these sessions, and the ability to rewatch on demand, which allows deeper learning after moving between locations.
EACD / IAACD 2025 (Dr Sebastian Schroeder)
Q: How has the organization of this conference been influenced by your prior EACD experiences?
The host explains that previous conferences shaped the approach to interdisciplinarity and the emphasis on including doctors, therapists, psychologists, and most importantly, people with lived experience, which now informs the German edition as well.
EACD / IAACD 2025 (Professor Rainer Blank)
Q: So out of all of the things that you have planned, which is in great detail, if you had to pick one thing that most excites you about this combined conference, what would that be?
The most exciting aspect is the global representation—over 82 countries—creating a real, visible international community around childhood disabilities, with diverse viewpoints and shared commitment to improving outcomes for families.
