Summary

The goal of this feasibility and proof of concept study is to learn about the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of a school readiness program for preschool-aged children with unilateral cerebral palsy. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

1. Is it feasible to implement an intensive school readiness program for preschool-aged children with UCP?
2. Is the program acceptable to the children and their caregivers?
3. What is the impact of the program on school readiness?

Participants will complete two pre-intervention assessments, participate in an intensive, goal directed, school readiness program, and complete 1 post-intervention assessment.

Conditions

  • Unilateral Cerebral Palsy
  • School Readiness

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Smart Start - School Readiness Program

Participants will complete 64 hours of intervention focused on goal directed school readiness. Each of the five domains will be addressed in each session, and the activities will be tailored to support the individual goals of the participant using a goal-directed training approach. A goal-directed training approach includes the child, caregiver, and researcher collaboratively setting goals that are meaningful to the child and their family. Intervention strategies for goal attainment will include both remediation of skills (i.e. learning to button a button) or the accommodation of skills (i.e. using Velcro instead of a button) depending on the child's goals and current ability. The primary focus of the intervention will be goal attainment related to school readiness.
