Upcoming CPTeaching courses

We are pleased and humbled to announce that, effective from 2 April 2024, Handfast AB will hand over the intellectual property rights to the assessments AHA, HAI, Mini-AHA, BoHA and Ad-AHA Stroke to CPTeaching. This means that future development and courses regarding these assessments will be managed entirely by CPTeaching.

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank my friends and colleagues A/Professor Lena Krumlinde-Sundholm, Professor Marie Holmefur, Professor Ann-Kristin Eliasson, along with all the AHA teachers for entrusting me to take the AHA family of assessments into the future. We fully appreciate the 25+ years of work and effort that has been undertaken to develop some of the most psychometrically robust and clinical useful tools used in clinical practice for children with cerebral palsy.

The staged handover process is currently underway which includes evaluating existing and future courses for 2024 and beyond. Following this, we expect much greater availability for clinicians to access training for these courses.

All future courses will be announced on the CPTeaching website (www.cpteaching.com) so please follow us on our social media channels or sign up for the newsletter via our website for all course announcements.
