Summary

The primary objective of this proposal is to investigate the safety of use of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)in children with hemiparesis.

The research question, "Is transcranial Direct Current Stimulation safe for use in children with congenital hemiparesis?" relates to two hypotheses:

1. tDCS will not produce a major adverse event, including seizure activity.
2. No change in paretic or nonparetic hand function or cognitive status will occur.
