Summary

Adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) have limitations to perform daily routine activities. The use of educational strategies associated to an approach based on motor learning principles was found to be effective in promoting motor outcomes in individuals with CP. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of an intensive, goal-directed training associated with education for parents and adolescents in promoting the daily functioning of adolescents with CP. A randomized clinical trial, with 20 adolescents with CP, aged between 12 and 17 years and 11 months, and their respective caregivers. Adolescents will be randomly allocated into one of two groups: (a) intensive training of functional goals with adolescents or (b) intensive functional goal training with adolescents, including parenting and adolescent education strategies.
