Introduction

Curriculum and monitoring system (CAMS) is a program that teaches caregivers mental and sensorimotor  stimulation techniques. It is designed to be taught by health care professionals (e.g public health nurses) to caregivers in their home environment. There are five programs within the method: cognitive, language, motor, self-help, and social skills.  The program outlines its strategies through 100 defined and illustrated cognitive, motor, and language activities which are intended to improve the development of children with suspected or confirmed brain injury from birth to 5 years.
