简要总结
This study focuses on the caregiver's knowledge, comfort, and confidence in interacting with and supporting their infant with Cerebral Palsy (CP) or at high risk for Cerebral Palsy. Four caregivers with their infants will be in one cohort to assess the benefits of group intervention. The intervention is delivered in a group, bootcamp-style educational format led by clinical team including pediatric physiatrist, physical therapist and occupational therapist.
详细描述
This program aims to provide caregivers with structured education and practical skills related to early intervention of cerebral palsy. Session content includes: (1) understanding the definition and nature of cerebral palsy; (2) the importance of early intervention and principles of infant neuroplasticity; and (3) foundational early motor strategies and CP-specific therapeutic principles commonly used in PT and OT. Sessions incorporate therapist demonstration, caregiver coaching, and guided motor play with the infant. In addition to knowledge-building, the intervention also aims to provide intentional caregiver support following the early diagnosis of CP, and achieves this via fostering peer support among families with similar experiences, and empowering caregivers in navigating and advocating within their child's early intervention system. Outcomes will be assessed through pre- and post-intervention parental Likert-scale surveys measuring (1) caregiver perceived knowledge, comfort, and confidence interacting with their infant, (2) perceived benefit of the group program, and (3) caregiver readiness to actively engage in ongoing longitudinal CP-specific early intervention.
