Objective hand therapy for children with upper limb motor impairments.

Trackable and engaging bimanual therapy. Wherever. Whenever.

The opportunity

Imagine a therapy tool that could...

01

Start helping today

Therapy at the clinic, at home, or whenever and wherever suits the child.

02

Measure progress objectively

Repeatable measures and real numbers, so progress is tracked rather than estimated.

03

Train both hands together

Bimanual training built around the two-handed movements of daily life.

04

Reach children at the right time

Hand use develops fastest before age five, when training counts most.

05

Fit small hands properly

Sizes and resistances designed for children from the start, not scaled down from adults.

06

Make children want to train

Training that feels like play, so it actually gets done.

...now you don't have to.

The evidence

Built on two fundamental principles

TherapyBimanual therapy: the evidence for training both hands togetherBimanual therapy trains both hands together, building the coordination and role differentiation that transfer directly into activities of daily living (ADLs). Those activities are where independence begins: dressing, eating, washing and play all require two hands working to a shared goal. Compared with constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), bimanual training achieves equivalent functional gains without restraining the unaffected limb. The restraint also ties CIMT to supervised sessions, where bimanual work can carry on unsupervised, as play. Since therapy depends on sustained repetition, the approach that can feel like play is the one that delivers.Many tasks a child performs requires two hands working together. Therapy should work the same way.D.

Train hand function in that window and the gains are built into how the brain wires itself, rather than worked against an established pattern. Therapy often starts later because nothing on the market suits small hands, or because children will not engage with adult tools at all, which is why therapists reach for toys instead. A therapy tool for children has to be built as one, and it has to feel like play.Hand use develops fastest in the first few years of life. Therapy should be designed to target that window.D.

Both hands, trained in unison, as early as possible.
That only happens when therapy feels like play.

Common questions

What therapists ask us

Which ages is SqueezAble suitable for?

It is designed for the early years and for early education, for children aged 1 to 11.

Can I use it with more than one child?

Yes. Each child is recommended their own customisable cover, which fits the same device, keeping engagement and hygiene high.

Can I set home exercise programmes?

Yes. You can see how well a programme was completed, in both quantity and quality, so the next session starts with a record rather than a conversation.

When will SqueezAble be available to buy?

It goes on sale in early 2027. Our trials are running now, so you can use it with the children you support today, at no cost.

What happens to the data?

It stays with the child and the team supporting them. Progress can be shared with parents and educators, and nothing is shared beyond that without consent.
