Steve,
In my opinion there are many better choices than
fitting a client with the CAPP TD. In my experience
with clients who have the CAPP TD, and that experience
is limited, the parents do not like the CAPP because
of its appearance and most of the users can only
perform basic grasping functions with the CAPP. Manual
dexterity with the CAPP is extremely limited.
